[Verse 1]
Hazel keeps the front line steady
Bigwig takes the harder road
Fiver sees the bad earth trembling
When the silence starts to glow
Bluebell cracks a joke for courage
Dandelion sprints ahead
Clover lifts her nose to morning
Where the fields go wide and red
[Pre-Chorus]
And they run, and they run
Past the burrowed stone
Through the nettle and the mud
To a place they can call home
[Chorus]
Run, little hearts, run on
(Thorn and clover)
Run, little hearts, run on
(Home in the open)
Hazel leads, Fiver knows
(Bigwig, stay close)
Run, little hearts, run on
(Thorn and clover)
[Verse 2]
General Woundwort stamps the darkness
Like a storm with a sharpened jaw
But the rabbits learn each other
In the fear behind the wall
Black Rabbit waits at the river
No one meets him face to face
Still the living keep on moving
With each breath they make more grace
[Pre-Chorus]
And they run, and they run
Through the fear and stone
Every scar a little map
Every name a little home
[Chorus]
Run, little hearts, run on
(Thorn and clover)
Run, little hearts, run on
(Home in the open)
Hazel leads, Fiver knows
(Bigwig, stay close)
Run, little hearts, run on
(Thorn and clover)
[Bridge]
Silver fur in rain-soaked grass
Voices low, then loud
Even when the world goes hard
They hold each other proud
From danger to the burrow door
From hunger to the dawn
What they carry is each other
And it carries them along
[Final Chorus]
Run, little hearts, run on
(Thorn and clover)
Run, little hearts, run on
(Home in the open)
Hazel leads, Fiver knows
(Bigwig, stay close)
Run, little hearts, run on
(Thorn and clover)
Run, little hearts, run on
(Thorn and clover)
