Watch the video and listen to the song. What is

the main idea of this song? What is it about?
‘Wind of change’ was written in August, 1989.
The song was composed and written by the band's lead singer 
Klaus Meine after visiting the Soviet Union.
The lyrics were predictable because the song became
associated with the Revolutions in 1989 and the Fall of the
Berlin Wall also in 1989.
