The past few weeks this song has been playing in my head. Tonight it wouldn't quit, so I had to go hunt down the video. Whenever I hear this song I immediately think of being a child and hearing about the fall of the Berlin Wall. Even though I was quite young at the time, I sensed it was an important event happening in the world around me.
I remember lying in the back of my parents car one night maybe a year later, watching the streetlights zip by in the darkness as we were headed home. The haunting whistling of this song filled my ears as I wondered what a wind of change would look like.
I think we all saw it last week, blowing through the US. Beautiful, wasn't it?
May it continue to blow and bring down the walls that the last 8 years have built between us and the rest of the world.
"The world is closing in, did you ever think
that we could be so close, like it 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
in the wind of change."
-Scorpions "Wind of Change"
