A Great Day For Freedom

Pink Floyd

1. On the day the wall came down
   They threw the locks onto the ground
   
2. On the day the wall came down
   The Ship of Fools had finally ran aground
   Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight
   
R: 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 
   
3. Now life devalues day by day
   As friends and neighbours turn away
   And there's a change that, even with regret, 
   cannot be undone
   
4. Now frontiers shift like desert sands
   While nations wash their bloodied hands
   Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey
   
R: 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
