Jenny Owen Youngs - War horse

The ^Emspirit / it moved me / it led me / to do these ^DThings that I don't ^Aknow how to ^Emexplain

A ^Emfeather / a chalice / an imperfect / balance ^DWaiting to be ^Aset against the ^Emgrain And I'll ^Dnever have to ^Ago back home a^Emgain

Take me a^Gway / I don't care where I ^Dland Better on a ^Emwar horse than in someone else's ^Chands Thought it was my ^Gplace / to watch the country ^Dbleed Don't know how ^CI became the ^Dgirl who they be^Emlieved

The ^Emsaints knew / they told me / what to do / I only ^DListened well and ^Adid the things they ^Emasked

And ^Emtime moved / as time does / a flame and / what once was ^DPresent quickly ^Amoved into the ^Empast And I'm ^Dcertain I was ^Anever meant to ^Emlast

Take me a^Gway / I don't care where I ^Dland Better on a ^Emwar horse than in someone else's ^Chands Thought it was my ^Gplace / to watch the country ^Dbleed Don't know how ^CI became the ^Dgirl who they be^Emlieved Don't know how ^CI became the ^Dgirl who they be^Emlieved
