...this song is very, very catchy. i was walking around coffee plantation the other night with three girls visiting from Croatia and my cousin Greg. Greg and I were enjoying their company, trying to talk slow enough to resist the question of "what did you say?" from the girls. they were fascinated by the huge fountain that had two levels and the dogfood store that made treats that look exactly like cookies and donuts. this song came over the radio in the park and i started singing and meirte, the most outgoing of the three, looked at me and was astonished that the song was playing and that she knew it as well...we walked around in the warm air, enjoying the music and the company. it truly made me miss the foreign friends and the questions they would have and when they would look at you and start talking in another language and you would just smile, nod your head and act like you understood responding with "da"
oh, the song is by sixpence none the richer by the way.
"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"
