Pink Floyd - A Great Day For Freedom lyrics

A great day for freedom<br><br>On the day the wall came down<br>They threw the locks onto the ground<br>And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived<br><br>On the day the wall cane down<br>The ship of fools had finally run aground<br>Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight<br><br>I dreamed you had left my side<br>No warmth, not even pride remained<br>And even though you needed me<br>It was clear that I could not do a thing for you<br><br>Now life devalues day by day<br>As friends and neighbours turn away<br>And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone<br><br>Now frontiers shift like desert sands<br>While nations wash their bloodied hands<br>Of loyalty, of history, in shades of gray<br><br>I woke to the sound of drums<br>The music played, the morning sun streamed in<br>I turned and I looked at you<br>And all but the bitted residue slipped away...slipped away
