Wooden Crosses & Wildflowers

[Intro ] [Verse 1] We woke up in the morning light Same old world, but something’s right Dust on our hands, songs in our heads And all the things we never said We built a fire that burned all night Talked about truth, talked about right Somewhere between the dark and dawn I felt like something new was born [Chorus – harmony-driven, emotional but restrained] Wooden crosses, wildflowers grow In the places we used to know Sing it soft, sing it true I was there… were you? [Verse 2 ] They’re still fighting somewhere far While we were dreaming under stars Trying to find a better way Just to make it through the day I don’t know what’s right or wrong I only know we sang that song And for a moment, we were free Just you and them and them and me [Chorus ] Wooden crosses, wildflowers grow In the places we used to know Sing it soft, sing it true I was there… were you? [Bridge ] Maybe it don’t change a thing… Maybe it’s just a song we sing… But for a while… we believed… [Build – subtle lift] (light bass enters, very soft) (very light percussion or brushed snare optional) [Final Chorus ] Wooden crosses, wildflowers grow In the places we used to know Sing it soft, sing it true I was there… were you? Hold it close before it’s gone Like the echo of a song In the morning, in the dew I was there… were you? [Outro ] (acoustic slows… last chord rings) (birds slightly louder now) (wind across field… silence growing)
