A Great Day For Freedom Lyrics - Division Bell - Pink Floyd

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 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
