I Will Not Be Struck Songtext
von Gord 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 staring into space
Forever or else
Enter the wilderness
And we only have ourselves
