How Can I Keep From Singing? Songtext
von René Marie

My life goes on in endless song
Above earth′s lamentation
I hear the tune, though far away
It gives the heart a new creation
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear its music ringing
It sounds an echo in my soul
How can I keep from singing?
My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentation
I hear the tune, though far away
It gives the heart a new creation
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear its music ringing
It sounds an echo in my soul
How can I keep from singing?
What though the tempest loudly roars
I hear the truth and sing it


And though the darkness around me close
Songs in the night it giveth
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that rock I′m clinging
Sing song this hurt in 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?
Through prison cells and dungeon bars
My songs to them are winging
When friends by shame are undefiled
How can I keep from singing?
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear its music ringing
It sounds an echo in my soul
How can I keep from singing?
