Lyrics How Can I Keep from Singing - Pete Seeger
My
life
flows
on
in
endless
song
Above
earth's
lamentation.
I
hear
the
real,
thought
far
off
hymn
That
hails
the
new
creation
Above
the
tumult
and
the
strife,
I
hear
the
music
ringing;
It
sounds
an
echo
in
my
soul
How
can
I
keep
from
singing?
What
through
the
tempest
loudly
roars,
I
hear
the
truth,
it
live'th.
What
through
the
darkness
round
me
close,
Songs
in
the
night
it
give'th.
No
storm
can
shake
my
inmost
calm
While
to
that
rock
I'm
clinging.
Since
love
is
lord
of
Heaven
and
earth
How
can
I
keep
from
singing?
When
tyrants
tremble,
sick
with
fear,
And
hear
their
death-knell
ringing,
When
friends
rejoice
both
far
and
near,
How
can
I
keep
from
singing?
In
prison
cell
and
dungeon
vile
Our
thoughts
to
them
are
winging.
When
friends
by
shame
are
undefiled,
How
can
I
keep
from
singing?
