Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 you name
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Nobody should ever be lonely
We'd all find someone to care
Well, ask me if I dare
To answer who
Could carry that flame
Carry that flame
Carry that flame
I'd just whisper your name
