I have run on middle fingernail through Eolithic morning
|
And IĄŻve thundered down the coach road with RevolutionĄŻs warning
|
I have carried countless errant knights who never found the grail
|
I have strained before the caissons, IĄŻve moved the nationĄŻs mail
|
IĄŻve made knights of lowly tribesmen, kings from ranks of peons
|
IĄŻve given pride and arrogance to riding men for eons
|
IĄŻve grazed among the lodges, teepees and the yurts
|
Felt the sting of driving whips, lashes, spurs and quirts
|
|
I am roguish- I am flighty- inbred and lowly
|
IĄŻm a nightmare gone wild I am
|
Gallant and exalted- stately and noble
|
IĄŻm awesome- I am grand I am
|
The Horse
|
|
I have suffered gross indignities from users and winners
|
IĄŻve felt the touch of kindness from losers and sinners
|
I have given for the cruel hand and given for the kind
|
Heaved a sigh at Appomattox when surrender had been signed
|
I can be as tough as hardened steel- fragile as a flower
|
I know not my endurance I know not my own power
|
I have died with heart exploded beneath the cheering stands
|
Calmly stood below the hanging noose of vigilante bands
|
|
I am roguish- I am flighty- inbred and lowly
|
IĄŻm a nightmare gone wild- I amĄŠ
|
Gallant and exalted- stately and noble
|
IĄŻm awesome- I am grand- I am
|
the Horse
|
|
So IĄŻll run on middle fingernail until the curtain closes
|
IĄŻll win for you your triple crown IĄŻll wear for you your roses
|
Toward you who took my freedom IĄŻve no malice or remorse
|
IĄŻll endure IĄŻll last forever I am
|
The Horse
