We turn away To face the cold, enduring chill As the day begs the night for mercy Your sun so bright It leaves no shadows, only scars Carved into stone on the face of earth The moon is up over One Tree Hill We see the sun go down in your eyes
You ran like a river oh, to the sea You run like a river runs to the sea
And in our world a heart of darkness A firezone where poets speak their hearts 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 to the sea, run to the sea We run like a river to the sea And when it's raining, raining hard That's when the rain will break my heart Raining, raining hard, raining in your heart Raining, rain into your heart, raining
Oh great ocean, oh great sea Run to the ocean, run to the sea
