We heard the fireworks Rushed out to watch the sky Happy-go-lucky, Fourth 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 Mulsim, 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 Then everybody gets a tongue to speak And everyone hears an inner voice A day at the end of the week To wonder and rejoice If the answer is infinite light, why do we sleep in the dark?
How can you live in Northeast? How can you live 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? The holy man only breaks bread
We watched the fireworks ‘til 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 the floodwater pours from the mouth?
