[Verse 1]
We turn away
to face the c
old, enduring
chill
As the day beg
s the night
for mercy, lov
e
The sun so b
right it leave
s no shadows,
only scars
Carved into st
one
On the face of
it
The moon is
up and over On
e Tree Hill
We see the sun
go down in yo
ur eyes
[Chorus]
You run like a
river, on lik
e the sea
You run like a
river runs to
the sea
[Verse 2]
And in the w
orld a heart o
f darkness, a
fire-zone
Where poets sp
eak their hear
t
Then bleed for
it
Jara sang, h
is song a weap
on, in the han
ds of one
You know his b
lood still cri
es
From the groun
d
[Chorus]
It runs like a
river runs to
the sea
It runs like a
river to the
sea

[Verse 3]
I don't beli
eve in painted
roses or blee
ding hearts
While bullets
rape the night
of the mercif
ul
I'll see you
again
When the stars
fall from the
sky
And the moon h
as turned red
Over One Tree
Hill
[Outro]
We run like a
river runs to
the sea
We run like a
river to the s
ea
And when it's
raining
Raining hard
That's when th
e rain will
Break the hear
t
Raining, raini
n’ in the hear
t,
rainin’ in you
r heart,
Raining, rain
into your hear
t,
rainin’, raini
n’, rainin’
Rain into y
our heart,
rainin’ woo!
[Coda]
Oh, great ocea
n. Oh, great s
ea.
Run to the oce
an. Run to the
sea.
