I Will Not Be Struck – Gord 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
