Lyrics of A Great Day for Freedom by Pink Floyd
verse
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
verse
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
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
Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbours turn away
And there's a change that even with regret
Cannot be undone
verse
Now frontiers shift like desert sands
While nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history
In shades of grey
chorus
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
Writer(s): David Jon Gilmour, Polly Annie Samson
