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 wanna sing of better times I wanna sing of hope We've heard those empty promises Sound like such a joke And so I stumble So hard to say, so difficult Sometimes I am not able To separate my dreams from false cliches [Chorus:] But the more and more I hear it I feel the spirit rise The people here are talking 'bout The oneness of our lives Maybe I will turn away, maybe you will run It just maybe 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 There it is. Just before I'm over and out My parting shot-just to say you hold the reins [Chorus:] And will you struggle To realize this earthly paradise Isn't so far above us? So put away those poisonous ideas You know it's just ideas They're the only... enemies 'round here I see your eyes are closing Didn't mean to keep you up There's more that I could say now But I guess I've said enough So sleep well Just before I'm over and out Yes, sleep well, just before I'm over and out The more and more I hear it I feel the spirit rise The people here are talking about 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
