Lyrics
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 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 your heart
Raining in your heart
Raining, rain into your heart
Raining, raining, raining
Rain into your
Raining, ooh, rain in your heart, yeah
To the sea

Oh, great ocean
Oh, great sea
Run to the ocean
Run to the sea
