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
