Текст песни How Can I Keep from Singing - Uri Caine , Theo Bleckmann , John Hollenbeck

My life goes on, an endless song
Above earth's lamentation
I hear the rare, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation
Above the tumult and the strife
I hear its music ringing
It sounds an echo in my soul
How can I keep from singing?

What though the tempest loudly roars
I hear the truth, it liveth
What though the darkness 'round me close
Songs in the night it giveth
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?

No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, noWhen tyrants tremble sick with fear
And hear the death-knock ringing
When friends rejoice both far and near
How can I keep from singing?
In prison cell and dungeon vile
Our thoughts to them go winging
When friends by shame are undefiled
How can I keep from singing?
