C F
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
Bb F C
As the day begs the night for mercy
C F
Your sun's so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars
Bb F C
Carved into stone on the face of earth
C F
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
Bb F C
We see the sun go down in your eyes
Bb F C
You ran like river to the sea
Bb F C
Like a river to the sea
C F
And in our world a heart of darkness, a firezone
Bb F C
Where poets speak their hearts, then bleed for it, yeah
C F
Jara sang, his song a weapon, in the hands of love
Bb F C
You know his blood still cries from the ground
Bb F C
It runs like a river to the sea,
Bb F C
like a river to the sea
C F
I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
Bb F C
While bullets rape the night of the merciful
C F
I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
Bb F C
And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill
Bb F C
We run like a river to the sea,
Bb F C
like a river to the sea
Bb F C
We run like a river to the sea,
Bb F C
like a river to the sea
