Don’t Dream It’s Over

CROWDED HOUSE LYRICS
“Don’t Dream It’s Over”

There is freedom within
there is freedom without
Try to catch a 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

[CHORUS]
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

[CHORUS]
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 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
You know they won’t win

Don’t let them win
Hey now, Hey now

Hey now, Hey now

Hey now, Hey now
Don’t let them win

They come, They come
Don’t let them win

Hey now, Hey now (yeah)

Hey now, Hey now

To those of us who have been at this business of living through a silent war for a long, long, time… A secret war, an invisible war, it’s not over yet but it will be soon. And ‘they’ won’t win. So don’t give in, don’t give up, don’t dream it’s over, because it’s not. Hang on and remember that in the end love always wins, always.

In this journey to sovereignty, to freedom, to true love of all that is, time is but a hiccup, a bump in the road and we are only at the on ramp to the freeway. To all of you out there who have wandered for so long, been lost in the fog of deception and confusion, soon you will be coasting down the road with the wind in your hair and the starlight on your faces.

The heart of the world is blossoming, is opening and casting its lovely light gently, and subtly upon us. I can feel it sinking into the pores of my being. And, Oh, my heart is sore and tired, unfamiliar with this deep , sweet feeling. This calm, this rest, this feeling. This ocean of love.

So, don’t dream it’s over, my loves… it has only begun. Let the fragrance waft over your soul, breathe deep and be soothed. We are on the verge of wonder. This I know.
