We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill As the day begs the night for mercy, love.
A sun so bright it leaves no shadows Only scars carved into stone on the face of earth.
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill We see the sun go down in your eyes.
You run like a river on to the sea You run like a river runs to the sea.
And in the world, a heart of darkness, a fire-zone Where poets speak their heart then bleed for it
Jara sang, his song a weapon in the hands of love. You know his blood still cries from the ground.
It runs like a river runs to the sea. It runs like a river to the sea.
I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts While bullets rape the night of the merciful.
I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill.
We run like a river runs to the sea We run like a river to the sea.
And when it's rainin', rainin' hard That's when the rain will break a heart.
Rainin', rainin' in your heart Rainin' in your heart. Rainin', rain into your heart Rainin', rainin', rainin' Rain into your heart. Rainin', ooh, rain in your heart, yeah. Feel it.
Oh great ocean Oh great sea Run to the ocean Run to the sea.
