We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill As the day begs the night for mercy love The 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 like a 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, 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 in the heart Raining in your heart Raining, raining to your Raining, raining, raining Raining to your Raining, oooh, oooh Raining in your heart To the sea
Oh, great ocean Oh, great sea Run to the ocean Run to the sea
