Maybe you remember, before the wall came down  How we hared one another from the other side of town  Now I'm an old man  And an old man can see  All that hate can leave you with  It's just photographs and no permanent past  And an ever growing rift    Back then it was easy to blame the other guy  You had it all so they built the wall and we were left to cry  And a young man  With a young man's haste  Will challenge every law  So he'll try to break out but there's never a doubt  That he is bound to fall  Then there's all the lies they tell you  And the lies you tell yourself  So you end up crying    [Chorus:]  The night that the wall came down  The night that the wall came down  The night that the bricks fell apart  And the wall came tumbling down    They said it would protect us, from evil from the west  How you'd sacrifice everything in the pursuit of personal wealth  But a mother  With a mother's tear  Sees her family torn apart  There are some by her side others still trapped inside  Only living in her heart  So what use, the lies they tell you  Or the lies you tell yourself  So you end up shouting    [Chorus]    Oh, oh and don't let them tell you  The future holds no hope  Oh, oh, oh never let them beat you  Look forward, take control    [Verse 1 & M8 rpts]
