Enya - How Can I Keep From Singing

 

 

 

 

 My life goes on in endless song         
above earth's lamentations             
I hear the real though far-off hymn   
that hails a new creation             

Through all the tumult and the strife   
I hear it's music ringing              
It sounds an echo in my soul           
How can I keep from singing           

While though the tempest loudly roars 
I hear the truth it liveth           
And 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          

When tyrants tremble in their 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...
