How Can You Live In The Northeast

|: | | | :|

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

And 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

Ooh____________

We watched the fireworks till they were fireflies

Followed a path of stars over the endless skies
