The Wall
Steppenwolf

Crossing the line in the dead of nightnFive years old and on the runnThis ain't no game, boy, don't make a sound nAnd watch that man with the gunnnSay a prayer for the ones we leave behind, say a prayer for us allnCome take my hand now and hold on tightnTake one last look at that wallnnThink of the shattered lives, think of the broken heartsnThink of the battered dreams, of families still torn apartnWall of bitter tears, wall of crying painnWall of chilling fear, you will never keep me herennFor I, I shall crawl right down through that wallnI will crawl right on through that wallnThat fateful night I was one that got away,nA young and restless renegadennChasing my dreams, still on the run, nI had some moments in the sunnYears flew by like a speeding bullet train, I sang my songs to one and allnThen came the day when I had a chance to pay nnMy respects to the names on that wallnI saw the wooden crosses, saw the bloody stainsnSaw the gruesome pictures of all the ones that died in vainnWall of countless victims, wall of endless shamennHad just one thing gone wrong I might have joined that list of namesnAnd I cried for all who died there at the wallnI recall weeping at the wallnFreedom has many difficulties, and democracy is not perfect,nBut we've never had to put a wall up to keep our people innnWhile the wall is the most obvious demonstration of the failures of communism, nWe take no pride in itâ?¦for it is an offense against humanity, separating families, nDividing husbands and wives, brothers and sisters and nPeople who wish to be joined togetherâ?¦nnAll free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin nAnd therefore, as a free man I take pride in the words Ich bin ein Berliner. n(Excerpts from John F. Kennedy speech at the Berlin wall June 26, 1963) nTurned on the news in November '89nnI could not move, I could not speaknSomething was burning up in my eyes,nSomething wet ran down my cheeknnAll those laughing faces, all those tears of joynAll those warm embraces of men and women, girls and boysnSisters and brothers dancing, all singing freedom's songnGod, if only I could be there to shake your hands and sing alongnnOh I, I would climb right up on that wallnAnd join you all dancing on the wallnStanding tall walking on the wallnnTear it down, right down to the groundnTear it down, right down to the ground
