We heard the fireworks,
Rushed out to watch the sky,
Happy go lucky,
4th of July.

How can you live in the Northeast?
How can you live in the South?
How can you build on the banks of a river,
When the floodwater pours from the mouth?

How can you be a Christian?
How can you be a Jew?
How can you be a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Hindu?
How can you?

Weak as the winter sun, we enter life on Earth,
Names and religion come just after date of birth,
And everybody gets a tongue to speak,
And everyone hears an inner voice,
A day at the end of the week to wonder and rejoyce.

If the answer is infinate light,
Why do we sleep in the dark?

How can you live in the Northeast?
How can you live in the South?
How can you build on the banks of a river,
When the floodwater pours from the mouth?

How can you tattoo your body?
Why do you cover your head?
How can you eat from a rice bowl,
When the holy man breaks bread?

Ooooooooooooooo...

We watched the fireworks,
Till they were fireflies,
Followed a path of stars,
Over the endless skies.

How can you live in the Northeast?
How can you live in the South?
How can you build on the banks of a river,
When floodwater pours from the mouth,
From the mouth?

I've been given all I wanted,
All the three generations of the boat,
I've harvested and I have planted,
I'm wearing my fathers old coat.
