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 wont 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



But the 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

It just maybe a foreshadowing

Of  what's to come



And while 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
