I Will Not Be Struck Lyrics - Gordon Downie

In this earth-like world 

In this earth-like world 

Before they arrived 

Under this 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 been staring into space 

Forever or else 

Enter the wilderness 

And we only have ourselves
