Lyrics of How Can I Keep from Singing? by Enya
verse
My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentation
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation
verse
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?
verse
While though the tempest loudly roars
I hear the truth, it liveth
And though the darkness 'round me close
Songs in the night it giveth
verse
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that rock I'm clinging
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
verse
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?
verse
In prison cell and dungeon vile
Our thoughts to them are winging
When friends by shame are undefiled
How can I keep from singing?
Writer(s): Traditional, Roma Ryan, Nicky Ryan, Eithne Ni Bhraonain
