How Can I Keep from Singing (Live) - Pete Seeger

My life flows on in endless song

Above earth's lamentation

I hear the real thought far off hymn

That hails the new creation

Through all the tumult and the strife

I hear the music ringing

It sounds an echo in my soul

How can I keep from singing

What through the tempest loudly roars

I hear the truth it liveth

What through the darkness round me close

Songs in the night it giveth

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

When tyrants tremble sick with fear

And hear their death-knell ringing

When friends rejoice both far and near

How can I keep from singing

In prison cell and dungeon vile

Our thoughts to them are winging

When friends by shame are undefiled

How can I keep from singing
