Answer 1

DON'T DREAM IT'S OVER
female singer- toni colette
male singer- paul young
Originally performed by Crowded House


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 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

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
you 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
you 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

hey now, hey now
don't dream it's over
dream it's over
dream it's over
don't dream

"Don't Dream It's Over"
(feat. Gary Beals)

[Ryan:] There is freedom within, there is freedom without,
Trying to catch the deluge in a paper cup
[Gary:] There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost,
But you'll never see the end of the row while you're travelling in here

[Chorus:]
[Both:] Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over,
Hey now hey now,
When the world comes in, it comes,
It comes to build a wall between us, we know they won't win

[R:] Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof,
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
[G:] In the paper today tells of a war in a ways,
But you turn it right over tothe T.V. page

[Chorus]

[G:] Now I'm walking again, to the beat of a drum,
And I'm pounding the steps ot the door of your heart
[R:] Only shadows ahead, barely clearing the roof,
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

[Chorus]
