text: 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
