A Great Day For Freedom
Cmi
1. On the day the wall came down
They threw the locks onto the ground
Fmi Gsus4
And with glasses high we raised a cry for
G
freedom had arrived
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
F
R: I dreamed you had left my side
C
No warmth, not even pride remained
F
And even though you needed me
C G
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
