somebody was spreading rumor
'bout better days a commin
why was i hummin
as if i knew
one and the same
but i just whispered your name
somebody was sayin something
'bout there being an end to tyranny
but when they asked me
what would i do.
if that day came
i only whispered your name
everyone got their own opinion
and protects their own dominion
no doubt for them it's true
but i tell them what i really believe
my only worry is protecting you
no one should ever be lonely
we'd all find somebody to care
ask me if i dare
to answer who.
could carry that flame
i'd just whisper your name
