Son Volt - Barricades lyrics
[Son Volt - Barricades lyrics]
The waves came by, but the world never wanted
Hearts press on anyway and on till
Where there's smoke, there's fire
Faith has charm, but faith can destroy
By and by, all the threads are sewn
Dark clouds make their presence known
Stand by the fire and just hope
That it doesn't burn out
When the world is not what it seems
On the outside, looking in on a dream
Don't let the barricades of life
Keep the wild spirit still
When the world around caves in
Lights will shine, let your life begin
Don't let the barricades of life
Keep the wild spirit still
No matter what you set out to find
This competition down the line
The crime of one might be the
Salt of the earth tonight
Makes no difference what others say and do
The path goes on showing the way for you
The sign says 'redemption ahead'
Move straight on through
When the world is not what it seems
On the outside, looking in on a dream
Don't let the barricades of life
Keep the wild spirit still
When the world around caves in
Lights will shine, let your life begin
Don't let the barricades of life
Keep the wild spirit still
Don't let the barricades of life
Keep the wild spirit still
Hearts press on anyway and on till
Where there's smoke, there's fire
Faith has charm, but faith can destroy
By and by, all the threads are sewn
Dark clouds make their presence known
Stand by the fire and just hope
That it doesn't burn out
When the world is not what it seems
On the outside, looking in on a dream
Don't let the barricades of life
Keep the wild spirit still
When the world around caves in
Lights will shine, let your life begin
Don't let the barricades of life
Keep the wild spirit still
No matter what you set out to find
This competition down the line
The crime of one might be the
Salt of the earth tonight
Makes no difference what others say and do
The path goes on showing the way for you
The sign says 'redemption ahead'
Move straight on through
When the world is not what it seems
On the outside, looking in on a dream
Don't let the barricades of life
Keep the wild spirit still
When the world around caves in
Lights will shine, let your life begin
Don't let the barricades of life
Keep the wild spirit still
Don't let the barricades of life
Keep the wild spirit still
