    This song was just on the radio and I just HAD to share how much I LOVE this song........I always get goose bumps when I listen to it........not sure why, but, it is one of the most hauntingly beautiful, thought provoking songs ever made........

    Don't Dream It's Over (Neil Finn)

    LYRICS

    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

    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
    Don't ever let them win

    Hey, Sunnygal ...

    Thanks for the memories and printing out the lyrics. When I said I never "heard" the lyrics I meant that I never really caught all the words. Above is Crowded House, the original group.

    Hiya Terri.

    All ac/dc songs sound the same. You can't tell one from the other.

    I know I'm getting old because I HATE hip hop. And of course my daughter loves it.

    I remember that song when I was a kid. There's alot of crappy music right now, in the Hip Hop realm there's good hip hop and bad hip hop. Trust me, there's some out there that everyone would like. I was the biggest die-hard metal/hardcore fan out there and as I got older I found some I liked. Regardless getting off topic, on this song I like these versions a bit better.
