Leap of Faith
Barbed wire glints in August sun
Two worlds divided, a life undone
Uniform heavy, conscience light
Conrad stands at the edge of night
Camera ready, history waits
One man's choice to leap the gates
From East to West, from dark to light
Freedom calls on this fateful night
Leap of faith, over the wire
Leap of faith, through the crossfire
One moment's courage, a lifetime's change
Leap of faith, the world rearranged
Sector signs, a fractured town
Berlin's heart, cut and bound
But in one soul, a fire burns
For liberty, his spirit yearns
Camera ready, history waits
One man's choice to leap the gates
From East to West, from dark to light
Freedom calls on this fateful night
Leap of faith, over the wire
Leap of faith, through the crossfire
One moment's courage, a lifetime's change
Leap of faith, the world rearranged
Snapshot frozen, time stands still
A soldier's leap, against the will
Of those who build walls to divide
He chooses freedom's uncertain ride
Leap of faith, over the wire
Leap of faith, through the crossfire
One moment's courage, a lifetime's change
Leap of faith, the world rearranged
In mid-air, between two fates
A man, a choice, it can't wait
History turns on slender threads
As Conrad flies, the old world sheds
The wall would stand for years to come
But this one act would strike some dumb
A symbol of the human will
To seek the light, be free, until
Leap of faith, over the wire
Leap of faith, through the crossfire
One moment's courage, a lifetime's change
Leap of faith, the world rearranged
The snapshot fades, but not the deed
One leap that planted freedom's seed
In memory and photograph
Forever caught: this leap of faith
Two worlds divided, a life undone
Uniform heavy, conscience light
Conrad stands at the edge of night
Camera ready, history waits
One man's choice to leap the gates
From East to West, from dark to light
Freedom calls on this fateful night
Leap of faith, over the wire
Leap of faith, through the crossfire
One moment's courage, a lifetime's change
Leap of faith, the world rearranged
Sector signs, a fractured town
Berlin's heart, cut and bound
But in one soul, a fire burns
For liberty, his spirit yearns
Camera ready, history waits
One man's choice to leap the gates
From East to West, from dark to light
Freedom calls on this fateful night
Leap of faith, over the wire
Leap of faith, through the crossfire
One moment's courage, a lifetime's change
Leap of faith, the world rearranged
Snapshot frozen, time stands still
A soldier's leap, against the will
Of those who build walls to divide
He chooses freedom's uncertain ride
Leap of faith, over the wire
Leap of faith, through the crossfire
One moment's courage, a lifetime's change
Leap of faith, the world rearranged
In mid-air, between two fates
A man, a choice, it can't wait
History turns on slender threads
As Conrad flies, the old world sheds
The wall would stand for years to come
But this one act would strike some dumb
A symbol of the human will
To seek the light, be free, until
Leap of faith, over the wire
Leap of faith, through the crossfire
One moment's courage, a lifetime's change
Leap of faith, the world rearranged
The snapshot fades, but not the deed
One leap that planted freedom's seed
In memory and photograph
Forever caught: this leap of faith
