Fourth of November, 1863, John Pine, he ran off to war His mama cried for John was but sixteen, she worried she'd see him no more Strong as an oak tree but not fully grown, John wasn't scared of dying alone Lured by the trappings of battle, the cannon's roar The winds of war, ever-changing Families and lives, rearranging Sometimes you don't hear the bullet That's meant to find you All through that winter, they battled the cold, John and his brothers in arms Ragged and weary, they lived off the land, ate scraps from war-ravaged farms Hardened and older now beyond his years, each night, John heard the whispers and fears Knew that the warnings would come too late to sound the alarm The winds of war, ever-changing Families and lives, rearranging Sometimes you don't hear the bullet That's meant to find you Nobody knows when the end it will come Asleep in your bed, at the point of a gun One way or another, the bullet will find you No matter where you might hide - or where you might run Tenth of September, 1864, a sniper's gun cut John down Another anonymous victim of war, buried beneath blood-soaked ground John left his mother to mourn him alone, no grave to visit, not even a stone His last words died on the wind, a whispering sound The winds of war, ever-changing Families and lives, rearranging Sometimes you don't hear the bullet That's meant to find you And even if you should hear it, nothing you can do
