lyrics

I’m nothin’ but a plain old soldier
In this revolutionary war
Winter’s long and cold I’m down on my luck
And I forget what we’re fightin’ for
But then I think about my wife and my children
I think about the birds that used to fly
Above the land where I caught my first songs as they fell
Like manna from the sky
Like manna from the sky

I wish I could hear a little bird singin’
Singin’ his rebel song
Like a ray of light in this shadow of death
Where we’ve been walkin’ for so long
Like a wake up call to the snowdrops
To rise from their frozen tomb
I can almost hear that little bird singin’ now
He’s never out of tune
A little bird is never out of tune

As a little boy I’d hide under the table
And listen to the old folks talk
They were laughin’ and drinkin’ singin’ precious songs of old
I always tried to build upon that rock
I was the youngest man in the family
And I had a lot to learn
I became the oldest man one day my father went a-huntin’
And never did return
He never did return

I wish I could hear a little bird singin’
Singin’ his rebel song
Like a ray of light in this shadow of death
Where we’ve been walkin’ for so long
Like a wake up call to the snowdrops
To rise from their frozen tomb
I can almost hear that little bird singin’ now
He’s never out of tune
A little bird is never out of tune

We camp a little while in the wilderness
Where no mercy can be found
We march away to the firing line
I hear my brother’s blood cry out from the ground
I’m nothin’ but a plain old soldier
In this cruel revolutionary war
But as soon as winter’s past and guilt forgiven
I’ll study war no more
I’ll go home and study war no more

Then I may hear a little bird singin’
Singin’ his rebel song
See a ray of light in this shadow of death
Where we’ve been walkin’ for so long
Hear a wake up call like the snowdrops
To rise from our frozen tomb
I can almost hear that little bird singin’ now
He’s never out of tune
A little bird is never out of tune

A little bird is never out of tune
