Four Thousand Miles Lyrics

Four thousand miles

But the smiles speak the language

Big rivers flow

People know just who you are

They see it in your face

So much we say

Never needs to be heard

So much we say

You can say without a word

Four thousand miles

And a song tells a story

On an ancient stage

To the power and the glory

Let the voices ring

So much we feel

Never needs to be heard

So much we fear

Is in our words

So we draw the line, draw the line

On a map somebody made

Tells us that we're different

Make us more afraid

We draw the line, draw the line

And in our map we trust

Until we get a closer look at you

And what we see is us

Four thousand miles

And the smiles take me home

Though I've never been

They know me to my soul

I see it in your face

So much we say

Never needs to be heard

So much we pray

We can pray without a word

Still we draw the line, draw the line

On a map somebody made

Tells us that we're different

Make us more afraid

But still we draw the line, draw the line

And in some map we trust

Until we get up close enough to see

How much you look like us

Four thousand miles

And I'm walking through the wonder

How the distance divides

Not at all

And the map I'm living on

With every new face I meet

Is being redrawn
