The Berlin Wall

Heard about the Berlin Wall
It made a rather horrid fall
It stood so tall in victory's palm
Everyone here is far from calm...

History has been made for the saddened days
Leaving no room for the crowd of joyous praise 
It’s a tragedy that this wall came tumbling down
Now, they are like headless clowns with a frown 

Stand tall now and get on the ball
You will not fall like the Berlin Wall
That wall got wrecked in a hurry…in a hurry…
It must have destroyed and gave many a injury

Heard about the Berlin Wall
It made a rather horrid fall
It stood so tall in victory's palm
Everyone here is far from calm...

Heard about the tragedy and chaos of it all
Makes me mad and sad as I walk this hall  
Makes me think hope is little in these dark times
How many times do we have to put up with these crimes?

That strong Wall came tumbling down like the Wall of Jericho
It came down with many a mighty blow…what a shameful show
Stood so tall like a Knight in the night, shining bright with might 
Delight will rise after the anguish of all will fall with a fall so contrite
Heard about the Berlin Wall
It made a rather horrid fall
It stood so tall in victory's palm
Everyone here is far from calm...

Heard about the innocent people dying, trying to get out of East Germany
Echoing their shouts, yearning about their long-loved, long-lost freedom
Wish I can mend their wounds and bring them back to life to set them free
They wanted it tremendously, can’t blame them…heard their attempts of running to safety, sounding like midnight drums…I hear their pleading hums…as the debris of the wall collapsed into the palm of oblivion that leaves our faith in humanity to useless crumbs

Prayers for the deaths of oh so many
Prayers for the restoration and plenty
Heard of the tragedy and it made me upset
Hope the men who started this attack feel regret

Heard about the Berlin Wall
It made a rather horrid fall
It stood so tall in victory's palm
Everyone here is far from calm...

Their destructive, avarice ways
Will lead them awfully astray 
Well, these unpromising days
Has hardly anything better to say

Went last year JW. I love history especially war. Its an awesome place . But for the fall it could possibly have been the Capital of the World and yet it still ended up being the Capital of the E.U. The wall is fascinating mate. Cheers Dude hope you are well have a nice weekend
