Over the concrete border, there's a girl who knows my 
name
And only Checkpoint Charlie has the way for us to meet 
again
We thought we knew what all the fighting years were for
But that was long ago before the cold war
She waits yet another day
With dreams like my own
For a chance to be back with me home

Checkpoint Charlie - open up your gates for me
Let me set my baby free - Checkpoint Charlie
Checkpoint Charlie, won't you let her back to me?
Home is where she need to be - Checkpoint Charlie
Checkpoint Charlie

Letters they string together with the memories of home
But the rules of men have hearts of stone
We'd always talk about our dreams as I recall
But that was long ago, before they built the wall
Over the concrete bordrer
She waits yet another day, with dreams like my own
For a chance to be back with me, home

Checkpoint Charlie - open up your gates for me
Let me set my baby free - Checkpoint Charlie
Checkpoint Charlie, won't you let her back to me?
Home is where she need to be - Checkpoint Charlie
Checkpoint Charlie

Checkpoint Charlie - Checkpoint Charlie
Checkpoint Charlie - Checkpoint Charlie
