when you're lost behind the wall All of the dreams you've ever known - will be lost behind the wall Misfortune can hide the freedom to choose The strong will survive and there's no win or lose There's reason to fight but no way to cope It's better to die than to live without hope You never really had a chance Die Mauer muss weg Tear it down All of your life grows cold - when you're lost behind the wall All of the dreams you've ever known - will be lost behind the wall Lost behind All of your life grows cold - when you're lost behind the wall All of the dreams you've ever known - will be lost behind the wall All of your life grows cold - when you're lost behind the wall All of the dreams you've ever known - will be lost behind the wall Lost behind the wall Lost behind ... the wall ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Stop Fighting Love (Pilson, Lynch, Dokken, Brown) 4:52 I'm the one that loves you I'm the one that cared Night comes and I think of you alone We've changed Love remains So give me one more chance I'll wait another day Until there's nothing Stop fighting love Baby I just want to know the reason why Stop fighting love, don't say goodbye And you'll be back in my arms again I can make it better I can make it right If only you could try and see the light Someday, someway I'm gonna make you see That I've paid for my mistakes Until there's nothing Stop fighting love Baby I just want to know the reason why Stop fighting love, don't say goodbye...
