On the day the wall came down

They threw the locks onto the ground

And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived

On the day the wall came down

The Ship of Fools had finally run aground

Promises lit up in the night like paper doves in flight

I dreamed you had left my side

No warmth, not even pride remained

And even though you needed me

It was clear that I could not do a thing for you

Now life devalues day by day

As friends an 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 sound of drums

The music played, the morning sun streamed in

I turned and looked at you

And all but a bitter reside slipped away.. Slipped away
