A Great Day for Freedom 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 arrivedOut the day the wall came down
The ship of fools had just all aground
Promise up the night like paper doves in flightI dreamed you had left my side
Nawarinth, not even pride remained
And even though you needed me
It was clear that I could not do a thing for youNow life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbors turn away
And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undoneNow frontiers shift like desert sands
While nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history in shades of greyI 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 residue slipped away...slipped away
