Horse

Because I'm a horse lovin' fool.

The horse tamed the human
To look upon them with glee
For when the horse looks upon man
He says 'you will never be free'.

The horse flies across fields,
You watch with nothing but love
The horse asks, so nicely
'Aren't I just a gift from above?'
Indeed you are good horse
We will never know such wonder
For humankind, in all its glory
Will always, always blunder

The horse does not fall or die
With a scream or indignant sound
Even as the fire flickers
His brave heart continues to pound
We humans will never know this strength
We damned ourselves long ago
But within their eyes is something we lack
A fire, a will, and a soul.

So we salute you, brave horses
As only humans will
By using you, abusing you,
Make you work through the long hours

When the time comes, the horse will reign
The angels will come down and sing
We look into the light, we finally see
The angels, who fly without wings
