Greenland is a real place.
Greenland is a place of the mind.
Greenland is not Greenland.
lyrics
[the children]
Going for a fun day out at Greenland
So many wonders, people to be found
And it's just around the corner
We're so determined to be happy
And nothing ever will destroy our dream
We're pretty sure we will be happy
[the man]
Once upon a time a man came riding west
Just another immigrant, but had a plan
he made a fortune he bought land
His fellow villagers all came round
He built a factory and a church and a school
And then he gave us something real cool
[the kids]
Like a jewel hidden in the park
Shining like a national guitar
It's been the land of our dreams
Ever since we were little kids
And no one's going to make us change our minds
We're talking some place out of spacetime
Now the day's gone we don't wanna go back home
Everything's now shut down, we feel so alone in Greenland
And it all looks kind of sad
And it all looks like this story never happened
And it feels just as if we
Were looking at a cemetery
And it's true we were never that far from home
And it's true we would die just to be once more in Greenland
And it all looks kind of sad
And it all looks like this story never happened
And it all looks kind of weird
As we head back to our own graves
