Cold War Child
Along the course of the water
I felt mum's secure hand on my shoulder
I felt free like the border river
Attending school made me shiver
Teachers thaught the Western danger
The West did doubt the Eastern Stranger
1983 raised atomic bomb-fears
I recognized and told it in tears
Cold War child
Cold War child
I was a black dressed Zorro
With water guns and a rocking horse
I did conquer the open sea
A treasure hunter to be once free
Good teachers wanted me to use
A pioneer dress I hoped to lose
My name is Huck Finn, I said
I reclaim my sugar hogshead
Cold War child
There is no reason to hide
Cold War child
Show your confidence
And your pride
Then I saw the fall of the Berlin wall
Family ties, envy ruined them all
They succumbed the suggested need
It was a new plant of strong seed
Grandma died, Huck's hogshead did close
My shelter was the music I began to compose
Cold War child
There is no reason to hide
Cold War child
Show your confidence
And your pride
I felt mum's secure hand on my shoulder
I felt free like the border river
Attending school made me shiver
Teachers thaught the Western danger
The West did doubt the Eastern Stranger
1983 raised atomic bomb-fears
I recognized and told it in tears
Cold War child
Cold War child
I was a black dressed Zorro
With water guns and a rocking horse
I did conquer the open sea
A treasure hunter to be once free
Good teachers wanted me to use
A pioneer dress I hoped to lose
My name is Huck Finn, I said
I reclaim my sugar hogshead
Cold War child
There is no reason to hide
Cold War child
Show your confidence
And your pride
Then I saw the fall of the Berlin wall
Family ties, envy ruined them all
They succumbed the suggested need
It was a new plant of strong seed
Grandma died, Huck's hogshead did close
My shelter was the music I began to compose
Cold War child
There is no reason to hide
Cold War child
Show your confidence
And your pride
