We are water

One tree hill (U2,1988)

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 One Tree Hill.
We see the sun go down in your eyes

You run like river, on, like a 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.

Jara sang, his song a weapon in the hands of Love.
You know his blood still cries from the ground

It runs like a river runs to the sea
It runs like a river to the sea

I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts, while bullets rape the night of the merciful
I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky and the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill

We run like a river run to the sea
We run like a river to the sea

And when it's raining raining hard
That's when the rain will break my heart

Raining, raining in the heart
Raining in your heart
Raining, raining to your heart
Raining, raining, raining
Raining to your heart
Raining, raining in your heart
Raining in your heart
To the sea

Oh great ocean
Oh great sea
Run to the ocean Run to the sea
