i stood and watched my daddy die

no-one could help his plight



cos he was trying to save our home

on the day that the river river rose



well it came alive I heard him say

there was nothing we can do

as he washed away



running from the heart of it

right into the cause of it

running from the heart of it



i'm a man now

but I'm only 7

well its been hard

since daddy went to heaven



stay in now my mumma 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 cause of it

running from the heart of it

right into the cause of it

running from 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 cause of it

running from the heart of it

right into the cause of it

running from heart, heart, heart



you give us strength, while we talk
