Don't Dream It's Over
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 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 possesions are causing me suspicion
But there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over the TV 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 shadows appeared barely clearing in the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
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
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
No, don't ever let they win
No, no, no, when the world comes in
Hey now hey now
Build the wall between us (When the world comes in)
Hey now hey now
No, no, don't let they win
Hey now hey now
No, no, no
Hey now hey now
Build a wall between us
Hey now hey now
