A Great Day For Freedom Songtext / Lyric

On the day the wall came down,
they threw the locks onto the ground,
and with glasses we raised a cry for freedom had arrived.

On the way the wall came down,
the ship of fools had finally run aground,
promise lit up the night like paper doves in flght.

I dreamed you had left my side,
no warmth, no even pride remainde,
and even thought you needed me,
it was clear that i could not do a thing for you.

Now life devalues day by day,
as friends and neighbours turn away,
and there´s a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone.

Now frontiers shift like desert sands,
while nations wash their bloodied hands,
of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey.
I woke to the sound of drums,
the music played, the morning sun streamed in,
I turned and I looked at you,
and all but the bitter residue slipped away... slipped away
