A Great Day For Freedom 2022

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

And on the day the wall came down

The ship of fools had finally run aground

Promises lit up the night

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 couldn't do a thing for you

Now life devalues day by day

As friends and neighbours turn away

And there's a change that evеn with regret

Cannot be undonе

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
