Criminals - Groenland

Yesterday we created courage

In a place we underestimated

We are daughters and sons of perpetual guilt

And to be taught wrong is the only wrong we did

Wonder how long we can hold

We never had to be brave

How did we end up so old

I used to feel fairly safe

In the front row a man fell down

We got him back on his feet before he even touched the ground

I need your words to keep my heart clean

The more I learn, the more I urge myself to see

When your flag is coming down

And their fires are spreading around

That’s when we know there’s much to be done still

We can take you under our care

Underneath a coloured flare

We’ll collide like electrons in the sky

We hid like criminals in the back street

Quite a radical way for you and me to meet

The idea of us is stronger than we are

We wait the night away 'til morning do us part

When your flag is coming down

And their fires are spreading around

That’s when we know there’s much to be done still

We can take you under our care

Underneath a coloured flare

We’ll collide like electrons in the sky
