Spirit of the Stallion
Location
Wild horses just run free
Nothing to stop them, just run with the breeze
They can believe in anything the world is theirs
No one can tell the free hearts that they are wrong
Dreams are reality, for they believe all is possible
Can’t be touched
Will not be chained
Happiness comes from loving what you have
But one gets a little adventurous, just gets a little to close
Toes the line, and soon it finds itself locked in a bind
Now the whole world is changed for this little horse
It is held down, told what to do
Tried to love its new world and new food
Shouldn’t it feel loved? With some much attention and so much delight
“Pretty Horsie” is whispered in its ears
The world has not lost its beauty, just at a distance it is seen
No longer a reality now just a dream
Life passes by all around
There are two ways for this stallion to live
One on the plains without any chains
One behind a fence, watching its wild world wisp away
This horse is saddled up, ready for its big debut
Beautiful and manicured it is paraded in
Then the real show begins
Bucking, kicking, screaming to be set free
Whipped and yelled at, didn’t they say they loved me?
This same scene goes on for months is seems, the little stallion wanting to be set free
Months go by and that spit fire starts to die
Some call this new horse beautiful and well behaved
Perfect in their society in every way
I cry for the dream that is gone inside its heart
The dreamer who lived its dream, the one who could run and touch the sky
That little stallion has started to die
Spirit of the stallion you are strong
But you cannot keep fighting, it will not be long
The spirit of the stallion can be broke
The death of a dreamer you can choke
Let her go, don’t you see, the beauty you see is the dreams being kicked out of me
Let her run, let her free then you will see the definition of beauty
You took the horse in for the freedom and spirit you saw
It captured you, changed you, and made you want that too
Breaking that won’t set you free it will only continue the pattern of destroying beauty
Follow that stallion let her show you her tale
You can learn from the souls set free
Oh little spirit don’t give up yet
You aren’t broken this isn’t over yet
Keep on dreaming, never let go
If the world around you changes one thing won’t die
The one thing you will always have is your spirit inside.
