1989年8月蘇聯盛大舉行別具歷史意義的「莫斯科和平音樂節」,同年十一月柏林圍牆倒塌,Scorpions以冠軍作品「Wind Of Change」為共產主義政權瓦解和冷戰結束,演唱撼動人心的主題曲,甚至錄製俄文版本,贏得前蘇聯領袖戈巴契夫邀請,到克林姆林宮參加一場研討會,這是蘇聯和搖滾史上頭一遭。滾石音樂雜讚譽Scorpions為「重金屬英雄」,入選全世界最偉大的三十個搖滾樂團之一,1992年,以在國際樂壇最成功的德國樂團之姿,於摩納哥獲頒「世界音樂獎」。
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 is 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
