A Great Day For Freedom
Pink Floyd
Letra

Álbum: The Division Bell ( 1994)

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 

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 

Now life devalues day by day 
As friends and neighbours 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 gray 

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 bitted residue slipped away...slipped away
