Some Say It is Over



A secret voice in the open
A voice that trembles the heart
Speaks itself so loud often
To your ears even now
when the sun had gone down

The same voice still speaks;
That it is over for you

That you cannot rise again
That you cannot make it
Even after the fall
Even after the failures
That makes you look with despair

No, i say this to you
And i say it again to you
To despise and throw down
The evil willing voice
That, this is not your will

That you will rise like the sun
And you will still shine like the sunrise

You will overcome the secret voice
You will prevail the voice of reproach
Your failures will turn to victory
Your agony of regret will fly with joy
And all that is good will rain like rain for you

And once again, i say, it is not over for you!
