All's quiet While she writes in the back room By the fire In a wingback chair The sandstone glows The dog's eyes close We'll wait it out again I know this part And we've come so far But it's not the same When you wish for things Like summer drives And overnight trains This dam will hold The dam must hold So much time While they build these gates a hundred strong As this month holds back the sun Well there's change on the rise Stay inside, stay inside Let's climb the walls again But we've seen this part And I guess we called it from the start But life's not the same When you wish for things Like summer drives And overnight trains This dam will hold The dam must hold All rise all rise come in from the cold Get up and fight Get up and win There's street riots And school strikes 'Cos the planet's fried Don't hold back your weakness alone I know you're strong And there's so much you can learn But it's not the same When you wish for things Like summer drives And overnight trains This dam will hold The dam must hold
