On The Day The Wall Came Down

LETRA

On The Day The Wall Came Down

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
