Boats
Along the eastern front
Where the ocean meets the trees
They say the town has fallen
Fallen to its knees
When dawn brings dusk
And blood red dust
Tell me when to hold them down
Put the boats in the water
And the children on our shoulders
For all the sons and daughters
They're sending in the soldiers
Safer than the ground
Skin burns as we drown
And it's all on fire
It's all on fire
And if all we know is the sand in our toes and a picture of home
Through these salty eyes we're saying goodbye to all that we know
And if all that's left is a flame in our chest and a cinder of hope
It's all on fire
From the western shore
Blown onto the land
Calls out for more
It beggars and demands
Desert wind brings changes
Making different plans
Tell me when you hear the sound
And it's all on fire
It's all on fire
And if all we know is the sand in our toes and a picture of home
Through these salty eyes we're saying goodbye to all that we know
And if all that's left is a flame in our chest and a cinder of hope
It's all on fire
Put the boats in the water and the children on our shoulders
(Put the boats in the water)
Put the boats in the water and the children on our shoulders
And if all we know is the sand in our toes and a picture of home
Through these salty eyes we're saying goodbye to all that we know
And if all that's left is a flame in our chest and a cinder of hope
It's all on fire
Put the boats in the water and the children on our shoulders
Put the boats in the water and the children on our shoulders
Where the ocean meets the trees
They say the town has fallen
Fallen to its knees
When dawn brings dusk
And blood red dust
Tell me when to hold them down
Put the boats in the water
And the children on our shoulders
For all the sons and daughters
They're sending in the soldiers
Safer than the ground
Skin burns as we drown
And it's all on fire
It's all on fire
And if all we know is the sand in our toes and a picture of home
Through these salty eyes we're saying goodbye to all that we know
And if all that's left is a flame in our chest and a cinder of hope
It's all on fire
From the western shore
Blown onto the land
Calls out for more
It beggars and demands
Desert wind brings changes
Making different plans
Tell me when you hear the sound
And it's all on fire
It's all on fire
And if all we know is the sand in our toes and a picture of home
Through these salty eyes we're saying goodbye to all that we know
And if all that's left is a flame in our chest and a cinder of hope
It's all on fire
Put the boats in the water and the children on our shoulders
(Put the boats in the water)
Put the boats in the water and the children on our shoulders
And if all we know is the sand in our toes and a picture of home
Through these salty eyes we're saying goodbye to all that we know
And if all that's left is a flame in our chest and a cinder of hope
It's all on fire
Put the boats in the water and the children on our shoulders
Put the boats in the water and the children on our shoulders
