[Intro]
Hazards blink like a heartbeat
Hazards blink like a heartbeat

[Verse 1]
The highway had no curtains
No nurses at the door
Just a young mother saying
I can't do this anymore
Then doing it anyway
while the dashboard shook
A tiny cry arrived
like a match in a closed book

[Pre-Chorus]
Wrap him up, keep him warm
Another wave, another storm

[Chorus]
Six miles from mercy
with mercy in her hands
Two small fires breathing
where the red dirt lands
Hold on, hold on
Let the sirens split the dark
Six miles from mercy
and mercy had a heart

[Verse 2]
The second wore the water
of a world not ready yet
She opened up the silence
with a terror she'll never forget
No speech for the cameras
No halo for the pain
Just love with shaking fingers
calling thunder by its name

[Bridge]
Later they will tell her
what the monitors read
But she will know the first report
was breath against her sleeve

[Final Chorus]
Six miles from mercy
with mercy in her hands
Two small fires breathing
where the red dirt lands
Hold on, hold on
Let the sirens split the dark
Six miles from mercy
and mercy had a heart

[Outro]
Hazards blink like a heartbeat
Two small fires, still breathing
