(i could only) whisper your name

somebody was spreading rumors

'bout better days a comin

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
