A Great Day For Freedom

1. The Division Bell (1987)
   

   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

   
   
2. Pulse (1995)
   

   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 cane 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
