This song actually has a breezy, carefree undertone to it. Throughout the song, the singer assumes a seemingly protective/senior role that is almost fatherly, telling "the Lover" to not be put down by all the adversities and trials in life. He calls out to her "Hey now, hey now" as if he is comforting her, and finally tells her the primary message of the song - "Don't dream it's over"; no matter how bad things get, to always stay positive and not lose her dreams. He assures her - "they won't win", telling her that nothing from this world will ever destroy the cocoon the both of them are encapsulated in. In my opinion, it is truly a masterpiece - extremely meaningful yet easy on the ears; sending such a strong message yet not having overbearing lyrics. A classic worthy of time.
