A Great Day For Freedom |

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 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 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 looked at you
And all but the bitter residue slipped away
... slipped away
