Lyric discussion by Nachtrafe 

This song means a lot to me too, I'm from West Berlin. I was 19 when the Brandenburg Gate was opened in November 1989 and we all ran through the cordon of soldiers and stepped on East German soil for the first time in our lives. Our whole lives before that had been lived under the spectre of nuclear war. The start of the 1990s with the reunification of our country, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the fall of the Wall, the freeing of the Warsaw Pact countries, was so full of hope and possibilities. I remember thinking that this was the year my life REALLY began. I still cry when I hear this song.

I love it when a song connects with such indelible memories. This is how our lives are defined.

@Nachtrafe - Your words give me hope to think that humanity, apart from governmental collusion and conspiracy, is far more able to live our lives in peace and love than they who unknowingly erode and undermine the aforementioned.

@Nachtrafe This is a beautiful sentiment and this is exactly what I think of when I hear this song. An absolutely beautiful song that gives me chills every time I hear it.
