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
It came alive I heard them say
RIFF #1
"There was nothing we could do as he washed away"
RIFF #1
Running from the heart of it
Right into the core of it
Running from the heart of it
VERSE 2
I'm a man now, but I'm only seven
It's been hard since Daddy went to heaven
"We're staying now," my mother said
Gtr2:RIFF #1
"He worked this land his life is here."
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 the heart of it

VERSE 3
Won't you follow me late at night
To the river when the moon is bright
We can wash our sorrows down
Underneath that shining round
Sitting in the still night air
Can't you feel our Daddy there
There's life and death in all this power
Underneath 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 the heart
