Maybe I'll just whisper Neither humble, neither proud Listen if you care to But I will not sing too loud No, not tonight Just before I'm over and out I want to sing of better times I want to sing of hope But you've heard those empty promises They sound like such a joke So I stumble So hard to say, so difficult Sometimes I am not able To separate my dreams from forced cliche But more and more I hear it I feel the spirit rise The people here are talking 'bout The oneness of all life Maybe I will turn away Maybe you will run But it just may be a foreshadowing of what's to come So anything can happen I don't believe in fate I won't try to convince you 'Cause it's getting kind of late But there it is Just before I'm over and out My parting shot Is just to say you hold the reins But more and more I hear it I feel the spirit rise The people here are talking 'bout The oneness of all life Maybe I will turn away Maybe you will run But it just may be a foreshadowing of what's to come And if you struggle to realize This earthly paradise is just so far above us to put away the poisonous ideas You know it's just ideas We're the only enemies around here I see your eyes are closing I didn't mean to keep you up There's more that I can say now But I guess I've said enough So sleep well Just before I'm over and out Yeah, sleep well Just before I'm over and out But more and more I hear it I feel the spirit rise The people here are talking 'bout The oneness of all life Maybe I will turn away Maybe you will run But it just may be a foreshadowing of what's to come
