A Great Day For Freedom
On the day the wall came downThey threw the locks onto the groundAnd with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrivedOn the day the wall came downThe Ship of Fools had finally ran agroundPromises lit up the night like paper doves in flight
I dreamed you had left my sideNo warmth, not even pride remainedAnd even though you needed meIt was clear that I could not do a thing for you
Now life devalues day by dayAs friends and neighbors turn awayAnd there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undoneNow frontiers shift like desert sandsWhile nations wash their bloodied handsOf loyalty, of history, in shades of grey
I woke to the sound of drumsThe music played, the morning sun streamed inI turned and I looked at youAnd all but the bitter residues slipped away...slipped away
