It came alive I heard them say

Am F G
Running from the heart of it

Right into the core of it
Am F G
Running from the heart of it

Am F G
Won't you follow me late at night

To the river when the moon is bright

We can wash our sorrows down

Underneath that shining round

Sitting in the still night air
Am F Em
Can't you feel our Daddy there
Am F G
There's life and death in all this power
Am F Em
Underneath these shining stars
Am F G
Running from the heart of it
Am F Em
Right into the cause of it
Am F G
Running from the heart of it

Right into the cause of it
