Not a Moment Too Soon - Helmut Kohl and Mitterrand

I don't know which one of them
First reached out to the other
Next thing you know
They were holding hands like brothers
And all the tears that were shed
By these men's wives and mothers
Well, they were drying up
Under the pale sun of September

For all we knew then, progress would go on forever
We held for true then our union would only get closer

I don't know why it is
We ended up not doing better
We got together
But took our eyes off the prize we were after
We were still in those trenches
While the world was changing around us
Can you be one now
Without keeping out millions of others?

What do you want now?
Is there still a dream you can have together?
And who are you now?
Not those white dudes on the picture
They are both gone now...

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
And you know you can't put it back together
You need a new plan now
One in which yesterday is over
The future's in your head now
Do you think you can let go of the dead men?
To keep moving ahead now
You've got to reinvent being European
