"War Horse" is the sixth song in the museum-based serial song project called EXHIBIT. It was inspired by a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in particular by the Jules Bastien-Lepage painting "Joan of Arc."

The premise of the EXHIBIT project is simple: every Tuesday for 8 weeks I will spend time in a New York City museum. Within one week's time, I will compose and record a song inspired by the visit.

LYRICS:

The spirit it moved me
It led me to do these
Things that I don't know how to explain
A feather a chalice
An imperfect balance
Waiting to be set against the grain
And I'll never have to go back home again

Take me away
I don't care where I land
Better on a war horse
Than in someone else's hands
Thought it was my place
To watch the country bleed
Don't know how I became
The girl who they believed

The saints knew they told me
What to do I only
Listened well and did the things they asked
And time moved as time does
A flame and what once was
Present quickly moved into the past
And I'm certain I was never meant to last

Take me away
I don't care where I land
Better on a war horse
Than in someone else's hands
Thought it was my place
To watch the country bleed
Don't know how I became
The girl who they believed
