Rewrite History

WHISPERS IN THE WIND 

STORIES AND BONES 

REST BENEATH STONES

​

AND ALL WE ARE IS LEFT ALONE

SO MUCH UNKNOWN

HOW CAN WE EVER ATONE?

 

IS ALL WE LEAVE

ALL WE BELIEVE - MANIFESTED 

OR WE ARE ALL VESTED

WITH ONLY THE HOURS

THAT MAKE UP THE SEASONS 

THAT MAKE UP THE REASONS WE LIVE FOR

AND NOTHING MORE

​

I’M NO HERO 

I’M NO SAINT

NO RENEGADE OR DEITY 

AND I NEVER SET OUT TO BE

I’M NO PIONEER, 

I’M NO ONE TO REVERE 

I’M NO REVOLUTIONARY

AND I NEVER SET OUT TO BE 

ANYONE BUT ME
 

(inst. solo)
 

FATE KEPT ME, 

ALMOST LIKE A REVERIE 

ALMOST LIKE I NEVER WAS AT ALL

MAYBE IT WAS KIND, 

MAYBE I DON’T MIND

MAYBE THEY COULD SEE THAT IT JUST WASN’T TIME

 

I’M NO HERO 

I’M NO SAINT

NO EMBLEM OF HUMANITY

I NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO BE

I’M NO PIONEER, 

I’M NO ONE TO REVERE 

I’M NO REVOLUTIONARY

UNTIL WE REWRITE HISTORY

Goodnight Sun, Hello Moon

THOUGH I FLY AWAY

YOU’LL SEE ME IN THE SPRING 

SO KEEP WARM IN WINTER 

AND LO, THE SUN SHALL BRING 

MY WEARY HEART HOME AGAIN 

BACK WHERE I BELONG

SOARING IN THE NORTHERN SKIES 

I WILL SING MY SONG

​

SAY GOODNIGHT TO THE SUN AND HELLO TO THE MOON

EVERY NIGHT I’LL CLOSE MY EYES AND PRAY TO SEE YOU SOON

FIX YOUR EYES TO THE HORIZON AND NEVER TURN AWAY

SAY YOU WON’T FORGET ME FOR I’LL BE HOME SOMEDAY.

​

WHEN YOU GROW LONESOME

DON’T SHED A TEAR

JUST PICTURE MY FACE

AND YOU’LL KNOW THAT I AM NEAR TO YOUR HEART

AND IN NO TIME AT ALL

YOUR EYES SHALL FALL UPON ME ONCE AGAIN 

ALL WILL BE AS IT HAS BEEN

 

SAY GOODNIGHT TO THE SUN AND HELLO TO THE MOON

EVERY NIGHT I’LL CLOSE MY EYES AND PRAY TO SEE YOU SOON

FIX YOUR EYES TO THE HORIZON AND NEVER TURN AWAY

SAY YOU WON’T FORGET ME FOR I’LL BE HOME SOMEDAY.

Time To Go

THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN REASONS 

I COLLECTED THEM FOR YEARS

WITH ALL THEIR DISAPPOINTMENT AND ALL THEIR TEARS

SO I HAVE NEVER WONDERED 

NO, I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN 

I’D BE PLANNIN' MY EXIT

A DAY'D COME WHEN I’D GROWN
BRAVE ENOUGH TO SAY THE WORDS 

STRONG ENOUGH TO STAND ALONE 

NO MORE WAITING FOR TOMORROW 

THIS IS MY TIME TO GO

 

I CAN’T BEAR IT ANY LONGER

IN THIS PRISON OF FENCES AND DIRT 

THERE’S JUST GOT TO BE MORE OUT THERE

MORE THAN ALL OF THIS PRETENDING AND HURT

AND I WON’T WAIT ANY LONGER

I’VE WASTED TOO MUCH TIME

ON WHAT THEY WANT WHEN I KNOW THAT I’M

NEVER GONNA BE THAT GIRL, 

AND SO… 

THIS IS MY TIME TO GO

 

EVERY WISH THAT I HAD TO HIDE

MIGHT BE WAITING FOR ME ON THE OUTSIDE 

OF THE ONLY TOWN I’VE EVER KNOWN

ITS SMALL AMBITION I’VE LONG OUTGROWN 

I WANT MILES AND MILES OF OPEN ROAD 

MOUNTAINS TO MAKE MY HEART EXPLODE

 

ADVENTURE ON THE OPEN SEA 

AND EVERY OPPORTUNITY 

THAT HAS NEVER BEEN AFFORDED ME.

 

PAPA, FORGIVE ME

MAMA, PLEASE DON'T CRY

YOU ONLY DID THE BEST THAT YOU COULD DO 

AND I’M SORRY FOR THE PAIN

I HAVE, AND AM, AND WILL CAUSE YOU.

BUT I’M DONE PLAYING VICTIM TO CIRCUMSTANCE

I AM READY AND WILLING TO TAKE ANY CHANCE 

AND NEVER AGAIN BE ANYONE'S BURDEN TO BEAR 

AND I DON’T CARE IF THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND 

THEY CAN GO ON AND KEEP THEIR HEADS IN THE SAND 

THIS IS MY CHANCE TO CHANGE MY FATE

AND I WON’T WAIT.

THERE’S A CALLING OUT INSIDE MY HEART
I AM LISTENING AND READY TO START

THERE’S A WHOLE NEW LIFE I’M READY TO KNOW 

THIS IS MY TIME TO GO

Canal Song

LEFT MY GAL UP IN UTICA

WALKED A HOLE IN THE SOLE OF MY SHOE

I’SEEN EVERY INCH OF THIS WATERY TRAIL 

AND MAN IT’S ONE HELL OF A VIEW

​

GETTIN’ THREE TIMES THE PAY IN THE MARSH ALL DAY

MY CAPTAIN, ME AND MY CREW

IT’S A LAZY GLIDE, A MULE AT MY SIDE AND BEST A MAN CAN DO

 

IT’S TWO MORE DAYS ‘TIL I SEE MY GAL 

TWO MORE DAYS ON THIS DAMN CANAL

MY POCKETS FULL LONG AS THE MULE CAN PULL

AND THE WINTER DAYS STAY AWAY

​

 WHOA—

​

HEY (HEY) HO (HO)

LIVIN’ LIFE ON THE CHENANGO 

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER TOW 

NIGHTS ARE LONG

AND THE DAYS ARE SLOW

​

CASH ON IN, BOY IT AIN’T NO SIN 

WATCH TIME AND TOWNS GO BY 

MOVIN’ BREW AND WHISKEY, TOO 

‘TIL THE DAY I DIE

​

HEY (HEY) HO (HO)

LIVIN’ LIFE ON THE CHENANGO ANOTHER DAY, 

ANOTHER TOW NIGHTS ARE LONG

AND THE DAYS ARE SLOW

 

WHOA-- 

Living Out Loud

I CAN’T LOOK AWAY

I CAN’T HELP BUT STARE 

THERE IN A MIRROR

EVERYTHING IS CLEARER

 

WHY DO I

FEEL SUCH ELATION

IT’S A STRANGE SENSATION 

AND IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME

​

I FEEL LIKE HOWLIN’ AT THE MOON 

I FEEL LIKE YELLIN’ IN THE WIND

FEEL LIKE I’M RUNNING ON THE RAILS 

I GOT A STORM BEHIND THESE SAILS

 

AND IT WAS BREWIN’ ALL THE WHILE

TOOK A CHANCE, AND THROUGH THE DOOR 

OUT OF THE DARK, INTO THE LIGHT

AND LIKE I NEVER FELT BEFORE

 

HEY -

I ONLY WISH THAT THEY COULD SEE ME NOW 

STANDIN’ TALL AND PROUD

READY TO MARCH BEFORE THE CROWD 

AND START LIVING OUT LOUD

 

ALWAYS SURROUNDED, BUT ALONE

THOSE WHO HAVE KNOWN ME AS I’VE GROWN 

THEY MADE IT HURT TO LET ‘EM GO

MADE ME QUESTION, NOW I KNOW

 

THIS IS THE PLACE THAT I WAS HEADIN’ 

ALWAYS FELT LIKE I WAS TREADIN’ WATER THROUGH THE YEARS

FILLED WITH DOUBT AND FILLED WITH FEARS. 

ONLY KNEW THE WAYS THAT I WAS WRONG 

ONLY KNEW THE WAYS THAT I WAS WRONG

 

HEY -

I ONLY WISH THAT THEY COULD SEE ME NOW 

SEE ME AND BE PROUD

WATCH ME MARCH BEFORE THE CROWD 

AND START LIVING OUT LOUD

LIVING OUT LOUD

​

ALL THE THINGS THEY SAID I COULDN’T DO 

SINCE THE DAYS I WAS A KID

THEY SAID GIRL, THE WORLD DOESN’T CHANGE IN A DAY

WELL, MINE JUST DID.

Love Beyond Reason

IT IS BRAVE, GOING?

RUNNING FOR FEAR YOU’RE LEFT BEHIND 

OR THE GRAVE UNKNOWING

SLOWLY UNRAVELING YOUR MIND

 

THIS IS NOT THE LIFE I WANTED

THIS IS NOT THE LIFE I PLANNED 

FATE FORCES IT’S HAND 

AND FORCES YOU TO CHOOSE

TIL’ YOU KNOW

HOW FAR YOU’LL GO 

 

I’D DO ANYTHING

JUST TO FEEL HIS HEART BEATING 

I’D GO ANYWHERE

FOR JUST ONE MORE MINUTE

IF LOVE’S GONE BEYOND REASON 

SO BE IT

 

CRAZY, AS IT MAY BE

IT’S THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN BEAR.

I CAN FACE ANYTHING

BUT NIGHTS ALONE WONDERING 

OR A LIFE WITHOUT HIM THERE.

 

I’D DO ANYTHING

JUST TO FEEL HIS HEART BEATING 

I’D GO ANYWHERE

JUST TO BE BY HIS SIDE 

I’D RISK EVERYTHING

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD 

AS THESE DAYS UNFOLD 

LIVE FOR TODAY

AND PRAY FOR TOMORROW 

HOPE FOR ONE MORE MINUTE

AND IF LOVE’S GONE BEYOND REASON 

SO BE IT.

Burn Down Cages

SHOULDER TO SHOULDER

SOLDIER BY SOLDIER

SIDE BY SIDE AND ROW BY ROW

I WATCHED THEM GO

 

STEP BY STEP

HOUR BY HOUR

DAY AFTER DAY

AND I HEARD THEM SAY

WEEP FOR ME MY GIRL WHILE I’M GONE

TOMORROW WE WILL BRING A NEW DAWN

CRY FOR ME, BUT DON’T BE AFRAID

HISTORY - WILL BE MADE

 

I HEARD THEM CRYING OUT FOR VICTORY
YELLING THE STREET
CALLING OUT FOR EVERY ABLE MAN
AND MY FATHER TURNED TO ME.

FIGHT FOR ME OH GIRL OF MINE
DO WHAT I NO LONGER CAN
GO ON NOW AND MAKE ME PROUD
YOU’LL BE A BETTER SOLDIER
THAN ANY MAN.

AND A KICKIN’ AND SCREAMIN’

ROSE UP MY MIND

HEED WHAT HE SAYS GIRL

THIS IS YOUR TIME

DON’T GET LEFT BEHIND

TAKE A CHANCE YOU'RE GONNA FIND

A FIGHT FOR FREEDOM

WELL HALLELUJAH


SO I PULLED UP MY BOOTS 

SLUNG A GUN TO MY BACK

MARCHED INTO BATTLE

AND LED EACH ATTACK

 

ORDERED THE CHARGE

AND MY MEN AROUND

KEPT THEM ALIVE 

ON THE BATTLE GROUND

 

SEE MY FATHER FOUGHT THE REDCOATS

WHEN HE WAS HALF MY AGE

TAUGHT ME HOW TO FIGHT

TAUGHT ME WRONG FROM RIGHT

AND ABOVE AT HE TAUGHT ME

LOVE OF MY COUNTRY

 

AND THE ONLY THING I FEARED

WAS THE DAY THAT THEY COULD SEE

WHO I REALLY WAS

AND I WAS RIGHT TO BE

 

‘CUZ THEY TOOK MY GUN

AND THEY STRIPPED MY RANK

AND THEY THREW ME IN A CELL

MY OWN MEN CALLED ME TRAITOR

AND FROM GODS GOOD GRACE I FELL

 

THEY CALLED ME PATRIOT

NOW THEY THROW ME IN A CAGE

TURN MY SACRIFICE TO TREASON

TURN MY PRIDE TO RAGE

 

THIS COUNTRY I’M WILLING TO DIE FOR

THIS COUNTRY THAT CLAIMS TO BE FREE

SEEMS THEY ALWAYS MAKE EXCEPTIONS

WHEN THEY SPEAK OF LIBERTY

 

THIS WORLD I ONCE ACCEPTED

I DON’T ACCEPT IT ANYMORE

AND IF I MAKE IT OUT ALIVE

I KNOW WHAT I’M FIGHTING FOR

 

ALWAYS KEEP YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH

ALWAYS LOOK'EM DEAD IN THE EYE

YOU WON'T BE THE FIRST

YOU WON'T BE THE LAST

BUT LIGHT THE MATCH

FAN THE FLAMES

'TIL IT BLAZES...

AND BURN DOWN CAGES

When I Get Home

WHEN I GET HOME

THERE'LL BE A DAMN PARADE.

THEY'LL CALL OUT MY NAME

THEY'LL ALL PROCLAIM, 

"A GREATER SOLDIER'S NEVER BEEN

THAT THERE'S NO BOY, THAT'S A MAN AMONG MEN!"

​

WHOA-OH-OH

​

WHEN I GET HOME

ALL THE GIRLS ARE GONNA WAVE

THEY'LL ALL SAY HOW BRAVE I MUST HAVE BEEN 

ALL THE MEN WILL RAISE A TOAST

THEY'LL ALL GET DRUNK 'N BOAST 

THEY'LL ALL SAY THEY KNEW ME WHEN

​

WHOA-OH-OH

​

I'M COMING HOME A HERO

EVERYONE IS GONNA KNOW MY NAME 

THEY'LL SAY THAT MAN FACED THE ENEMY AND SAVED OUR COUNTRY

WHOA-OH-OH 

WHEN I GET HOME

​

WHOA-OH-OH

​

WHEN I GET HOME I'M NOT WASTING ANY TIME 

I'M ASKING YOUR SISTER FOR HER HAND 

BUT IF SHE DON'T AGREE, 

SAYS, "HUN, I'D RATHER HAVE NONE" 

WELL, I'LL JUST GO ASK YOUR OTHER ONE

​

WHOA-OH-OH
 

I'M COMING HOME A HERO

EVERYONE IS GONNA KNOW MY NAME 

THEY'LL TELL TALES OF MY BATTLES DAYS 

SHAKE MY HAND AND SHOWER PRAISE 

WHOA-OH-OH

WHEN I GET HOME   

​

WHEN I GET HOME

IF THEY SOUND THE ALARM

I'LL BUY A WHOLE DAMN FARM SOMEWHERE OUT WEST

BUT IF ALL'S FORGIVEN

AND WE JUST GO ON LIVIN'

THINGS CAN NEVER BE WHAT THEY WERE 

'CAUSE ONE THING'S FOR SURE

I'M COMIN' HOME A WARRIOR!

​

WHOA-OH-OH

I'M COMING HOME A HERO 

WHOA-OH-OH

I'M COMING HOME A HERO 

WHOA-OH-OH

I'M COMING HOME A HERO 

WHOA-OH-OH

WHOA-OH-OH

WHOA-OH-OH

WHOA-OH-OH

Trio Song

I’VE TRIED TOO HARD 

I’VE CRIED TOO MUCH

I’VE CLUNG TOO TIGHT

TO THE HOPE I MIGHT

FIND A WAY

TO WIN YOUR LOVE SOMEDAY

TO LIVE MY LIFE OUT LOUD

AND TO MAKE YOU, MAKE YOU, MAKE YOU PROUD


BUT I CAN’T HAVE IT ALL

NO YOU WON’T LET ME HAVE IT BOTH WAYS

YOU HAVE ME UP AGAINST A WALL

AND MY BLOOD IS ABLAZE 

 

AND YOU MADE YOURSELF CLEAR

YOUR SILENCE ECHOES IN MY EAR

AND IT FEELS LIKE A SCREAM

AND IT CUTS LIKE A BLADE

BUT I KEEP CRAWLING BACK

TO THE PROMISE I MADE

 

AND I WANTED TO BE STRONG 

AND I WANTED COME THROUGH

WANTED TO SAVE THEM ALL 

AND COME BACK FOR YOU

AND AS BAD AS  I WANTED IT 

HARD AS I TRIED

I CAN’T MAKE IT TRUE 

AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO

​

WHERE DO I PUT THIS POWER

WHERE DO I PUT THIS MIGHT

HOW DO I WAGE THE BATTLE

HOW DO I FIGHT THIS FIGHT

SOME DAYS I’M JUST BITTER
SOME DAYS I SPIT FIRE 

BUT WHAT GOOD ARE MY WORDS
WHEN I’M STUCK ON THIS PYRE 

AND IF I HAD IT HOW I WANT IT
WHICH WAY WOULD I GO?

WOULD I JUST JUMP BACK IN TO HOW IT’S BEEN
OR WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW 

 

THAT THEY CALLED ME PATRIOT

NOW THEY THROW ME IN A CAGE

FOR NO WRONG THAT I’VE DONE 

BUT FOR WORDS THEY WON’T SAY 

 

AND I KNOW IT’S NOT IN VAIN 

‘CAUSE I FOUGHT FOR WHAT’S RIGHT

BUT I WON’T DENY THAT THERE’S MORE TO THIS FIGHT 
AND I DON’T ACCEPT THAT I’M DONE, THAT I’M THROUGH

BUT I STAND HERE IN CHAINS

AND DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO 

​

MADE TO BE PIOUS, PROPER AND PURE

SOFT AND SUBMISSIVE, QUIET, DEMURE

AND I TOLD YOU I WOULD DO ANYTHING 

TIL DEATH DO US PART

FOLLOWED MY FOOLISH HEART

​

MAY THE FIRE KEEP BURNING BRIGHT

​

IS IT TIME TO FORGET MY PAST
LET NOTHING REMAIN

​

AND I LEAPT FROM MY MADNESS

AND INTO THE FLAME

AND THE TERROR TAKES HOLD 

AND MY DEMONS TAKE AIM

AND THE DAYS BECOME TORTURE  

AND THE NIGHTS ARE DESPAIR

AND I’M CHARGED WITH A LIFE I WAS NOT MEANT TO BEAR     

SO I’M PRAYING TO GOD

PLEASE GIVE ME A SIGN

JUST GIVE ME AN ANSWER

I’M LOSING MY MIND

​

BUT YOU MAKE YOURSELF CLEAR

THE SILENCE ECHOES IN MY EAR

AND IT FEELS LIKE A SCREAM

AND IT CUTS LIKE A BLADE

BUT I KEEP CRAWLING BACK

TO THE PROMISE I MADE

​

NOW THE VULTURES ARE CIRCLING 

THEY WHISPER AND STARE

AND THERE’S NO WAY TO WIN

IN THIS SPINNING NIGHTMARE

FEEL THEM GETTING CLOSER

I KNOW THAT THEY’RE COMING

WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE

I HEAR THEM DRUMMING

​

WHERE ONCE THERE WAS A FLICKER 

OF HOPE IN MY HEART

NOW THEY’VE TORN IT APART 

TORN IT APART

​

AM I A FOOL TO IMAGINE?

WHEN MY FUTURE IS NO GUARANTEE

IS THIS THE END FOR ME?

​

THERE’S A DEVIL AHEAD 

AND A DEVIL BEHIND ME 

AND THEY’RE ALL CLOSING IN 

AND THE DARK STARTS TO BLIND ME  

AND HE CAN’T SAVE ME NOW 

NO TOO LATE 

I WON’T FACE THAT FUTURE 

I WON’T SUFFER THAT FATE 

​

WHERE ONCE THERE WAS A FLICKER 

OF HOPE IN MY HEART

NOW THEY’VE TORN IT APART 

​

I TRIED TOO HARD

​

WHERE DO I PUT THIS POWER

​

I SAID I’D DO ANYTHING

​

I CRIED TOO MUCH

​

WHERE I DO I PUT THIS MIGHT

​

BUT IT DOESN’T MAKE IT TRUE  

​

I CLUNG TOO TIGHT

​

HOW DO I WAGE THIS BATTLE

​

AND I SAID I DO ANYTHING

NOW I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO  

​

HOW DO I FIGHT THIS FIGHT

​

I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO

Sometimes

SOMETIMES

I LET MYSELF FORGET

'CAUSE MEMORIES CAN BEND 

AND IT'S EASY TO PRETEND

ALL THE WORDS ARE TRUE

 

I LET GO OF THE SHAME 

NO ONE TO BLAME

BUT NOTHING'S THE SAME

 

AND SOMETIMES

I LET MYSELF FORGET 

WORDS THAT YOU SAID

THAT STILL PLAY IN MY HEAD 

SOMETIMES

​

BUT MOSTLY I CAN SEE THE CHOICES I DON'T REGRET 

THESE ARE THE WAYS AND THE DAYS THAT I WON'T LET GO 

NO MATTER THE CONSEQUENCE

THIS IS WHERE I MAKE SENSE 

THIS IS WHERE I FEEL STRONG 

THIS IS WHERE I BELONG

​

SOMETIMES

I LET MYSELF FORGET

THAT I NEED TO HOLD IT INSIDE 

LIKE THERE'S NOTHING TO HIDE

​

I'D TELL YOU WHY IT ALL FEELS SO RIGHT IF I KNEW

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW I KNOW THIS IS A BETTER LIFE FOR ME, 

I JUST DO. 

SO YOU CAN STOP ASKING WHY

YOU CAN STOP ASKING HOW 

YOU CAN STOP ASKING WHEN 

I'M NOT COMING HOME.

'CAUSE I'M NOT COMING HOME AGAIN

IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES

COULD YA TELL MY MOTHER, SISTERS AND MY BROTHER 

I DIE WHO I WAS MEANT TO BE

 

                                             
(IS THIS WORTH THE PRICE)

A SOLDIER, PROUD AND TRUE.

(IS THIS WORTH THE SACRIFICE?)

PROUD TO DON THE BRASS AND BLUE.

(I GIVE MY LIFE TO HISTORY)  

AND A PERSON WHO

HAD THE COURAGE TO LEAVE EVERYTHING THEY KNEW

IN SEARCH TRUTH

(WILL THEY HONOR ME?)

IN SEARCH OF SOMETHING BETTER.

(WILL MY MEMORY LIVE ON?)

IN SEARCH OF MYSELF. IN SEARCH OF MORE

​

OH LORD DON'T LET ME BE

(FATHER SAY YOU'VE FORGIVEN ME)

LOST IN THE WRECKAGE A NAMELESS CASUALTY

(AND IF I DIE TONIGHT, MAY ALL BE SET RIGHT)

MAY THEY BURY MY BONES 

(AND MAY THERE BE TEARS ONLY CAUSE YOU MISS ME)

MAY THEY LAY MY SOUL TO REST IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES   

(ONLY CAUSE YOU MISS ME)

OH LORD DON'T LET ME BE

(WILL THERE BE A RECKONING?)

LOST IN THE WRECKAGE A NAMELESS CASUALTY

(...FOR ME - IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH?)

MAY I LIVE TO SEE THE LIGHT

(WHO WILL THEY BURY)

BUT IF MY TIME ON THIS EARTH IS DONE THIS NIGHT.

(WHO WILL THEY BURY?)

MAY THEY CARRY ME HOME 

(WHO WILL THEY BURY?)    

​

GLORY, GLORY, HALLELUJAH.

GLORY, GLORY HALLELUJAH.

HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON.

GLORY, GLORY, HALLELUJAH.

GLORY, GLORY HALLELUJAH.

WHO WILL THEY BURY?

HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON
