"Wind Of Change" lyrics

"Wind Of Change"

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world is closing in
And did you ever think?
That we could be so close?
Like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change
(Mmmmmmm)

Walking down the street
And distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva
And down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me (you and me)
Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (wind of change)

The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
Like a storm wind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to sing (sing)

Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me (you and me)
Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (wind of change)


Writer(s): Klaus Meine
Vocalist Klaus Meine, who wrote and composed "Wind of Change", was inspired by the band's first visit to the USSR in 1989 where they took part in big "Music Peace Festival".
Manager Doc McGhee recalled, "The second night that we played in Moscow, we were in the bus coming back from the gig, and Klaus was whistling 'Wind of Change'. He had this idea in his head. And then the next day he pretty much had the whole song written. The actual basis of the song."
"Wind of Change" was released as the album's third single in 1991.
There is a Russian-language version of this song recorded by Scorpions under the title "Ветер перемен" ("Veter peremen").
