W e turn away to face the co ld enduring chill
As the da y begs the ni ght for me rcy
Yo ur s un's so bright it leaves no shadows only scars
Ca rved into sto ne on the fa ce of earth
T he moon is up and over On e Tree Hill
We see the s un go do wn in yo ur eyes
You ran like ri ver t o the se a
Like a ri ver t o the se a
A nd in our world a heart of da rkness a firezone
Where po ets speak their he arts then bl eed for it yeah
Ja ra sang his song a we apon in the hands of love
You kn ow his blood still cr ies from the gr ound
It runs like a ri ver t o the se a
like a ri ver t o the se a
I don't believe in painted ro ses or bleeding hearts
While b ullets rape the ni ght of the me rciful
I' ll see you again when the st ars fall from the sky
And the mo on has turned re d over O ne Tree Hill
We run like a ri ver t o the se a
like a ri ver t o the se a
W e run like a river to the sea
like a ri ver t o the se a
