Don't Dream It's Over lyrics

There is freedom within, there is freedom without,

Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup.

There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost

But you'll never see the end of the road

While you're travelling with me.

Hey now, hey now,

Don't dream it's over.

Hey now, hey now,

When the world comes in,

They come, they come

To build a wall between us.

We know they won't win.

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof

My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof.

In the paper today tales of war and of waste

But you turn right over to the T.V. page.

Hey now, hey now,

Don't dream it's over.

Hey now, hey now,

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us.

We know they won't win.

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum

And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart.

Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof,

Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief.

Hey now, hey now,

Don't dream it's over.

Hey now, hey now,

When the world comes in,

They come, they come

To build a wall between us.

Don't ever let them win.
