Lagu ini pertama kali dirilis tahun 1991. Wind of Change langsung menjadi fenomenal menyusul digulirkannya kebijakan Glasnost Uni Soviet, yang berujung pada reunifikasi Jerman dan peruntuhan Tembok Berlin serta diakhirinya Perang Dingin yang sudah berlangsung selama lebih dari empat dekade. Pada pemilu AS kemarin, lagu ini sempat digunakan Barrack Obama sebagai media kampanye, sesuai dengan slogan kampanyenya `Yes We Can`. Frasa `Wind of Change` sendiri berasal dari pidato politik Perdana Menteri Britania Raya Harold MacMillian tahun 1960.
Apa, soal aransemen? Saya tidak begitu kenal ilmu musik, jadi hanya bisa bungkam saja. xP
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future’s in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change
Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change
The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change
