3. Wind of Change Klaus Meine Scorpions
I follow the Moskva 1
Down to Gorky Park Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night Soldiers passing by
5 Listening to the wind of change
The world closing in Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers The futures in the air
10 I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change Chorus:
Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away 15
In the wind of change
