Full Song

Verse 1

C Am F

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

Chorus

F G C Am

Hey now, hey now, don’t dream it’s over

F G C Am

Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in

F G C Am

They come, they come to build a wall between us

F G C

We know they won’t win

Verse 2

C Am F

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
