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 them 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

We're stayin' now my mumma said
and he worked his land
his life was spent
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 why don'tyou 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 brown

we'll be
sitting in the still night air
can't you feel our 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
