Lyrics:
There's a freedom within
There's a 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 traveling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
And they come, they come
Build a wall between us
Well 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 TV page
But hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Oh hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
And they come, they come
Build a wall between us
Well 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 ahead
Barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
But hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Well hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
Well they come, they come
Build a wall between us
But they won't win
