In a land without any pity And a sun scorching from the sky
A C Em G A
In the desert, they built a city Sharp as flint that could make you cry
A C Em G A
Hold on to it Hold on to it It’s a dream that will never die
A C Em G A
Come there with me Come there with me It’s the home of my own mind’s eye
A C Em G A
A C Em G A
But the dreamer was never welcome Other lands have their own demands
A C Em G A
Get away boy, you don’t belong here That’s our law and it always stands
A C Em G A
Hold on to it Hold on to it It’s a dream that will make you cry
A C Em G A
Come there with me Come there with me And they’ll let us in by and by
Em Em
[Chorus:]

They asked our dreamer for reams of paper These were the keys that he didn’t own
A C Em G A
They pointed back to the land he came from Said: “Go back there, son ‘cos that’s your home”
A C Em G A
Go back to it Go back to it No future, no life, no hope
A C Em G A
Come there with me Come there with me And you’ll see why I can’t go home

So, the dreamer turns from the city But he asks them before he leaves:
A C Em G A
“Who checked your papers to build this country? Who gave permission for you and not me?”
A C Em G A
Think back on it Think back on it Land is the land and it was always free
A C Em G A
Before you Before you No one had papers, they would simply “be”
[Chorus]

I will meet you when things are better
