Watchhouse - “Picking Up Pieces” (Official Audio)

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

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

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"

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
