Chadwick Stokes - Joan of Arc Lyrics

Once in her father's garden at the tender age of 13
She saw of vision of 3 figures
She knew them to be bygone saints
And she was so taken by their beauty that she cried when they faded away
She said I can't stay here, the message they gave was clear
I must go save the king

Hey sister with your rat tail long
Don't let them try to end your song
You know there's always gonna be people trying to get you down
Wanting you to be like everybody else

So she asked her uncle to take her to a nearby town
Where she petitioned the garrison commander
For permission to visit the crown
Though she'd rather have remained home spinning wool by her mother's side
She found a way to lead the Francais, only 17 years beside

Hey sister with your rat tail long
Don't let them try to end your song
You know there's always gonna be people trying to get you down
Wantin' you to be like everybody else

She was captured by the enemy
And brought before the church court
The illiterate peasant girl of the likes none had seen the sort
They convicted her of wearing men's clothing
She said, I only did so that I wouldn't be raped
That's very nice dear, but you're a heretic it's clear
We'll burn you at the stake

Hey sister with your rattail long
Don't let them try to end your song
You know there's always gonna be people trying to get you down
Wanting you to be like everybody else
