Europe

Songwriter: Joey Tempest

It's time to break out from the cage
It's time to change your ways
It's time to find those shattered dreams
That vanished in the haze
It's time to lose those concrete shoes
They held you down too long 'cause
Trouble days have come and gone
And the night has just begun
Another dawn is yet to come
Carry on my little one
Girl from Lebanon

It's time to meet the changes
They come from all around
It's time for you to realize
Freedom has been found
It's time to meet the future
And forget about the past
It's time to make a good thing last

And the night has just begun
Another dawn is yet to come
Carry on my little one
Girl from Lebanon

It's time to cut the barbwire
And walk out on the street
It's time that we stayed up all night
And lose all kinds of sleep
It's time to wear those bright Blue jeans
And let your hair hang down
The word of peace is goin' 'round

Europe is a Swedish rock band formed in Upplands Väsby, Sweden in 1979, by frontman Joey Tempest, guitarist John Norum, bassist Peter Olsson, and drummer Tony Reno. They obtained a major breakthrough in Sweden in 1982 by winning the televised competition “Rock-SM” (Swedish Rock Championships): it was the first time this competition was held, and Europe became a larger success than the competition itself.
