Just looking for opinions on this, I'll upload a recording over the next week. (hopefully) I wrote it a few weeks ago, about the fall of the Berlin Wall.. As usual any criticisms or suggestions welcome, thanks.

Chorus:
I was almost too young to remember
That day in early November
When dust filled the Berlin air, and the wall came falling down

Verse 1:
Well they came from East and from West
For a finer day they'd never known, than
Seeing off the past and embracing the unknown

Verse 2:
Mothers, fathers, sons and daughters
Looked on, as the first waves began to fall
A thousand men with shovels and picks came to lend their all

Verse 3:
The martyrs turned away as the guards wept below
Now a red volunteer from the soviet sphere
Couldn't give the order to slow

Verse 4:
Forty years of bloodshed and tears
This city's heart had held, but
Over night they'd turn it down and all the world had felt it

Verse 5:
As the sun came up next morning
Nobody knew quite what to say
So we said nothing at all, we said nothing at all
