The story behind the song

This power ballad captures the feeling of a world on the cusp of change, specifically the end of the Cold War. Inspired by the band's visits to the Soviet Union during perestroika, the lyrics reflect on the subsiding enmity between communist and capitalist blocs. The song was written by lead singer Klaus Meine after attending the Moscow Music Peace Festival, where he observed music acting as a unifying force among people. He recounts sitting by the Moskva River in Gorky Park, reflecting on the significant global shifts. At its heart, this song embodies a powerful sense of hope for a new era.
