Barricades - Son Volt

The waves came down but the world never wanted

Hearts press on anyway and until

Where there’s smoke there’s fire, faith has charm

But faith can destroy

By and by all the threads are sown

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 begins

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

Don’t let the barricades of life keep the wild spirit still
