I Will Not Be Struck
Gordon Edgar Downie
In this Earth-like world
In this Earth-like world
Before they arrived
Under the sun-like star
Under the sun-like star, they civilized
Run along the river, on the secret path
I will not be struck, I'm not going back
I can see my father's face
Warming his feet by the stove
We used to have each other
Now we only have ourselves
Then I put my ear
Then I put my ear
Right against the rail
So what I couldn't hear
What I couldn't hear
I would feel
Run along the river, on the secret path
I will not be struck, I'm not going back
I've been starin' into space
Forever or else
Enter the wilderness
And we only have ourselves
