Pink Floyd — A Great Day for Freedom (The Division Bell 1994)

Текст песни: A Great Day for Freedom (The Division Bell 1994)

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
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
[Instrumental Outro 2:19 - 4:17]
