Lyrics
[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]
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 road while you're traveling with me
[Chorus: Miley Cyrus & Ariana Grande]
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
And we know they won't win
[Verse 2: Miley Cyrus]
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possession 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 TV page
[Chorus: Miley Cyrus & Ariana Grande]
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
And we know they won't win
[Bridge]
Are you a mouse or a bear or a..? Um
Whatever you are it's probably the cutest mouse/bear thing I've ever seen
I'm a unicorn if you can't tell
You're the cutest unicorn in the world
That's fine, we can just go to riff on it
Sorry I was f***** up, I was drifting sorry
I was flirting sorry, sorry I was flirting, sorry
Alright everybody, sorry I'll f*** off, here we go, I'm sorry here
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
And we know they won't win
Hey now, hey now, don't dream
Hey now, hey now, world, you're an angel Ariana Grande
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now
