We wade through the water With tears on our shoulders To the place that we know to be safe The stitches that bind us Split and divide us The stitches that bind us Split and divide us And how these fires Terrify us You take the mile road I cross the border Run through the mire Go under the water You take the mile road I cross the border Run through the mire Go under the water 4th of July We seek to defy Ignoring our ties and our fate Mosquito eyes Chair and plane smiles The sea meets the sky And fires illuminate And how these fires Terrify us You take the mile road I cross the border Run through the mire Go under the water You take the mile road I cross the border Run through the mire Go under the water You take the mile road I cross the border Run through the mire Go under the water You take the mile road I cross the border Run through the mire Go under the water You take the mile road I cross the border Run through the mire Go under the water You take the mile road I cross the border Run through the mire Go under the water You take the mile road I cross the border Run through the mire Go under the water You take the mile road I cross the border Run through the mire Go under the water End
