Shower in the dark day 
Clean sparks driving down 
Cool in the waterway 
Where the baptized drown 
Naked in the cold sun 
Breathing life like fire 
Thought I was the only one 
But that was just a lie 

Cause I heard it in the wind 
And I saw it in the sky 
And I thought it was the end 
And I thought it was the 4th of July 

Pale in the flare light 
The scared light cracks & disappears 
And leads the scorched ones here 
And everywhere no one cares 
The fire is spreading 
And no one wants to speak about it 
Down in the hole 
Jesus tries to crack a smile 
Beneath another shovel load 

And I heard it in the wind 
And I saw it in the sky 
And I thought it was the end 
And I thought it was the 4th of July 

Now I'm in control 
Now I'm in the fall out 
Once asleep but now I stand 
And I still remember 
Your sweet everything 
Light a Roman candle 
And hold it in your hand 

Cause I heard it in the wind 
And I saw it in the sky 
And I thought it was the end 
And I thought it was the 4th of July
