Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House (1986)

Sung on "Glee" recently...


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 traveling 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

We know they won't win



Don't let them win

Hey now, hey now

Hey now

Hey now, hey now

Don't let them win

Hey now, hey now

Don't let them win

Hey now, hey now
