Track 01 off of 99 Songs of Revolution, Volume I. Streetlight Manifesto's cover of Birds Flying Away by Mason Jennings.

Lyrics:
I left my country when i was nineteen
1925
And drifted to a town on the Cuban coast
Met a woman who became my life
And oh when i saw her
Darkness fled from me
And flew like a blackbird into the sun
On the day she married me
Dear god
Dear god
I remember climbing up those shoulders
Coming up under you like a lion
Coming down like we were dying
Dear god
But now the drumbirds come for me
Oh now the drumbirds come for me
Lord give me forgiveness
For all that i've done
Forgive me now of the weight i bear
Don't keep me on the run
Dear god
Dear god
I remember climbing up those shoulders
Coming up under you like a lion
Coming down like we were dying
Dear god

  • @HellaLaughs901 that would be extremely hard 'cause making rebecca black sound good is next to impossible :/

  • @FloridaSkaters

    blew my mind

    st kalnoky is how he MUST be addressed from now, wether he likes it or not!

  • Does anyone know when Volume 2 comes out?

  • 0:49 gets me every time! So good I have to stop everything I'm doing and just listen

  • many drunken mourning this has woken everyone up in my house

  • @chuckles218 yea i like this one too... the one i dont care for is 'Just'... other than that, its all gooddd

  • @TheFrickinPope thats funny because this is easily one of my favorite on this album

  • ToKal.. Legend.

  • Eh. Idk, I never really liked this one. It's not bad, but it's definitely worst song on the album, when compared to the other absolute gems on this album.

  • @FloridaSkaters Actually, I believe he would have written it, and replaced all the religious crap with kick-ass music.
