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
