He saw them coming through the ^FBerlin Wall ^Am And there were tears in his ^Feyes ^Am He'd never thought he'd see that ^Gconcrete fall ^F He felt their joy and their sur^E7prise ^Am He saw them walking past the ^Fborder guard ^Am He saw them wonder at their ^Fgain ^Am But deep inside he knew that ^Gevery yard ^F They walked towards another ^E7pain That needed libera^Amtion ^{F Am F Am}

He saw them in the Ku Dam ^Fshop and store ^Am With freedom money in their ^Fhands ^Am Soon it was gone but still they ^Gwanted more ^F To take back to their Mother^E7land ^Am He saw her move towards a ^Fpair of jeans ^Am He saw him move towards a ^Fbar ^Am But as they neither of them ^Ghad the means ^F He knew they'd travelled much too ^E7far Away from libera^Amtion ^{F Am F G}

He saw them coming through the ^FBerlin Wall ^Am And there were tears in his ^Feyes ^Am He'd never thought he'd see that ^Gconcrete fall ^F He felt their joy and their sur^E7prise ^Am But as they came to roll those ^Fstones away ^Am With all their hopes and all their ^Fdreams ^Am He knew that day was not the ^Gtime to say ^F Freedom is never what it ^E7seems We all need libera^Amtion ^{F Am}
