Wildfire

Brave men fall with a battlecry Tears fill the eyes of their loved ones and their brothers in arms And so it went for Joseph Warren It should have been different, it could have been easy His rank could've saved him but a country unborn needs bravery And it spread like wildfire From the ashes grew sweet liberty Like the seeds of the pines when the forest burns They open up to grow and burn again And it should've been different, it could have been easy But too much money rolled in to ever end slavery And the cry for war spread like wildfire Solo Civil war came and civil war went Brother fought brother, the south was spent But its true demise was hatred passed down through the years And it should have been different, it could have been easy But pride has a way of holding too firm to history Then it burns like wildfire Solo (play soft) I was born a southern son In a small southern town where the rebels run wild They beat their chests and they swear "we're gonna rise again" (back to full volume) And it should have been different, it could have been easy The day that old Warren died, hate should've gone with him But here we are caught in a wildfire
