Dont dream its over

Dont Dream Its Over was written by Neil Finn, keyboardist and lead vocalist of the band Crowded House. It was released in 1986 as a single from the bands debut album and became a massive international hit. The song is known for its inspirational lyrics and catchy melody. Neil Finn was inspired to write the song reflecting on the sense of isolation and the idea of overcoming obstacles in relationships and life in general.

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 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

(repeat)
Don't let them win
