lyrics

BERLIN – Words and Music by Ben Kunder

I was in Berlin on the anniversary,
Of some forsaken tragedy, shadows of my past,

You told me to relax, look out at all the scenery,
Take in all its majesty and try not to look back,

Walk down the cobble streets to the Christmas market,
So pretty when it’s dark out and you can see the lights,

I began to cry, I hide it so you can’t see me,
So you don’t even notice me, it’s hard but I’m alright,

Tear down the walls,
You don’t have to hide anymore,
I’m alright now babe, I’m alright now babe,

Up four flights of stairs to the fotostudio,
Filled with faces we didn’t know and may not see again,

You shared with me your broken dreams and I sang my song for you,
We were not so different then, no we all bleed the same,

Tear down the walls,
You don’t have to hide anymore,
I’m alright now babe, I’m alright now babe,
Tear down the walls,
You don’t have to hide anymore,
I’m alright now babe, walking these streets they’ll save us,

Can we walk these streets where it all happened?
Can we walk these streets where the walls once stood?
Or are we just going out for the weekend?
Tell me I’m alright, tell me I’m good,

Tear down the walls,
You don’t have to hide anymore,
I’m alright now babe, I’m alright now babe,

Tear down the walls,
You don’t have to hide anymore,
I’m alirght now babe, I’m alright,

Tear down the walls,
You don’t have to hide anymore,
I’m alright now babe, walking these streets of East Berlin with you,
I’m alright now babe, walking these streets, they’ll save us.
