Lyrics

[Intro]
Down here, oh, down here
There is no hiding place down here
Oh, you run to the rock to hide your face
Rock cried out, no hiding place
There's no hiding place down here
[Chorus]
Down here, oh, down here
There is no hiding place down here
Oh, you run to the rock to hide your face
Rock cried out, no hiding place
There's no hiding place down here
[Verse 1]
Oh, sinner man, you better run
Oh, sinner man, you better run
Oh, sinner man, you better run
Wake up some morning, judgment's come
There's no hiding place down here
[Chorus]
Down here, oh, down here
There is no hiding place down here
Oh, you run to the rock to hide your face
Rock cried out, no hiding place
There's no hiding place down here
[Verse 2]
You go to the sea, and the sea cried out
You go to the mountain, and the mountain cry
You go to the ocean, and the ocean say, lord
There is no hiding place down here
[Chorus]
Down here, oh, down here
There is no hiding place down here
Oh, you run to the rock to hide your face
Rock cried out no hiding place
There's no hiding place down here
[Outro]
Down here, oh down here
There is no hiding place down here
You may run to the rock to hide your face
Rock cried out, no hiding place
There's no hiding place down here
