I stood and watched my daddy die No one could help his plight He was trying to save our home On the day that the river rose Well, "It came alive" I heard them say "There was nothing we could do As he washed away" Running from the heart of it Right into the cause of it Running from the heart of it Right into the core of it Running from the heart... I'm a man now but I'm only seven Well, it's been hard since daddy went to heaven "Stay in now", my mum said And he worked his land, his life a tear Running from the heart of it Right into the cause of it Running from the heart of it Right into the core of it Running from the heart... Hey, but once you follow me late at night We'll go down down to the river where the moon is bright And we can wash our sorrow down Underneath that shining round You'll be sitting in the still night air Cani, Phil, daddy there Life and death and all this power Underneath these these shining stars Running from the heart of it Right into the cause of it Running from the heart of it Right into the core of it Running from the heart... You give us strength, while we talk
