Wildfire - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Brave men fought with the battle cry

Tears filled 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 have saved him

But a country unborn needs bravery

And it spread like wildfire

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

It should have been different

It could have been easy

But too much money rolled in to ever end slavery

The cry for war spread like wildfire

Wildfire

Civil War came, Civil War went

Brother fought the brother, the South was spent

But its true demise was hatred passed down through the years

It should have been different

It could have been easy

But pride has a way of holding too firm to history

And it burns like wildfire

Wildfire

I was a born a southern son

In a small southern town where the rebels run wild

They beat their chests and they swear we're going to rise again

It should have been different

It could have been easy

The day that old Warren died hate should have gone with him

But here we are caught in the wildfire

Wildfire
