"A Great Day For Freedom" (Gilmour, Samson)
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 cane 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 I looked at you
And all but the bitter residue slipped away...slipped away.
They threw the locks onto the ground
And with glasses high we raised a cry, for freedom had arrived.

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

And all but the bitter residue slipped away...slipped away.
