A Great Day for FreedomPink Floyd
lyrics:
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
neighbors 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 residues slipped away... slipped away
