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.
