The day begs the night

We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill

As the day begs the night

for mercy love

The sun so bright it leaves no shadows

Only scars

Carved into stone

On the face of earth

The moon is up and over

on one tree hill

I see the sun go down in your eyes

You run like a river, on to the sea

You run like a river runs to the sea

And in the world a heart of darkness

A fire zone

Where poets speak their heart

Then bleed for it

you sang a song, a weapon

In the hands of one whose blood still cries

From the ground

It runs like a river runs to the sea

It runs like a river to the sea
