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
