A Great Day For Freedom Gilmour Samson   420 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 arrived



On the day the wall came down

The Ship of Fools had finally ran aground

Promises lit up the night light 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



Not 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
