Introduction to Land of Hope and Dreams<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Good Evening!<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s great to be in Manchester and back in the U.K. Welcome to the Land of Hope & Dreams Tour! The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll in dangerous times.<\/span><\/p>\n

In my home, the America I love, the America I\u2019ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices\u00a0against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Land of Hope and Dreams<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
Grab your ticket and your suitcase<\/span>
Thunder’s rolling down the tracks<\/span>
You don’t know where you’re goin’ now<\/span>
But you know you won’t be back<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Darlin’ if you’re weary<\/span>
Lay your head upon my chest<\/span>
We’ll take what we can carry<\/span>
And we’ll leave the rest<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Big Wheels rolling through fields<\/span>
Where sunlight streams<\/span>
Meet me in a land of hope and dreams<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I will provide for you<\/span>
And I’ll stand by your side<\/span>
You’ll need a good companion for<\/span>
This part of the ride<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Leave behind your sorrows<\/span>
Let this day be the last<\/span>
Tomorrow there’ll be sunshine<\/span>
And all this darkness past<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Big wheels roll through fields<\/span>
Where sunlight streams<\/span>
Meet me in a land of hope and dreams<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This train – <\/span>Carries saints and sinners<\/span>
This train – <\/span>Carries losers and winners<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This Train – <\/span>Carries whores and gamblers<\/span>
This Train – <\/span>Carries lost souls<\/span>
This Train – <\/span>Dreams will not be thwarted<\/span>
This Train – <\/span>Faith will be rewarded<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This Train – <\/span>Hear the steel wheels singin’<\/span>
This Train – <\/span>Bells of freedom ringin’<\/span>
This Train – <\/span>Carries broken-hearted<\/span>
This Train – <\/span>Thieves and sweet souls departed<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This Train – <\/span>Carries fools and kings<\/span>
This Train – <\/span>All aboard<\/span><\/div>\n
This Train – <\/span>Dreams will not be thwarted<\/span>
This Train – <\/span>Faith will be rewarded<\/span>
This Train – <\/span>Hear the steel wheels singin’<\/span>
This Train – <\/span>Bells of freedom ringin’<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
