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
