Testo The Wall - John Kay feat. Steppenwolf
Testo della canzone The Wall (John Kay feat. Steppenwolf), tratta dall'album Born To Be Wild: A Retrospective
Crossing the line in the dead of night
Five years old and on the run
This ain't no game, boy, don't make a sound
And watch that man with the gun
Say a prayer for the ones we leave behind
Say a prayer for us all
Come take my hand now and hold on tight
Take one last look at that wall
Think of the shattered lives
Think of the broken hearts
Think of the battered dreams
Of families still torn apart
Wall of bitter tears
Wall of crying pain
Wall of chilling fear
You will never keep me here
For I, I shall crawl
Right down through that wall
I will crawl
Right on through that wall
That fateful night I was one that got away
A young and restless renegade
Chasing my dreams, still on the run
I had some moments in the sun
Years flew by like a speeding bullet train
I sang my song to one and all
Then came the day when I had a chance to pay
My respect to the names on that wall
I saw the wooden crosses
Saw the bloody stains
Saw the gruesome pictures
Of all the ones that died in vain
Wall of countless victims
Wall of endless shame
With just one thing gone wrong
I might have joined that list of names
And I, I cried for all
Who died there at the wall
Oh, I recall
Weeping at the wall
Freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect, but we
Have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in. The wall
Is the most obvious demonstration of the failures of communism
We take no satisfaction in it. The wall is an offense against
Humanity, separating families, dividing husbands and wives and
Brothers and sisters and dividing up people who wish to be joined
Together. All free men, wherever they live
Are citizens of Berlin. And therefore, as a free
Man, I say to the world: "Ich bin ein Berliner."
Turned on the news in November '89
I couldn't move, I could not speak
Something was burning up in my eyes
Something wet ran down my cheek
All those laughing faces
All those tears of joy
All those warm embraces
Of men and women, girls and boys
Sisters and brothers dancing
All singing freedom's song
God, if only I could be there
To shake your hands and sing along
Oh, I, I would climb
Right up on that wall
And join you all
Yeah, dancing on the wall
Oh, standing tall
Walking on the wall
Tear it down
Right down to the ground
Tear it down
Right down to the ground
Tear it down
Right down to the ground
Tear it down
Right down to the ground
Tear it down
Right down to the ground
