Race Horse



Deep in the woods, tied by nothing and ruled by none
No Chains, No clutches to bind, I was completely free to run
The sheep and cows grazed with me, the bear and its cubs enjoyed the honey
I would do anything you ask, just to go back home and run

I was born very simple, I had everything, just enough and ample
Life came to me a full circle; it wasn’t just any mere miracle
I used to lie on the grass, No one to question, no one to harass
All to myself, thoughtless, look at me now I feel so lifeless

Piercing through the shade of the leaves, arose and awoke the glowing sun
I woke up to its beautiful rays, my buddy birds making chirpy noises
Nights passed into dawn and day, I never woke up to run for a finish line.
Now they make me run, against my wishes

My feet moist when I stepped on the dewdrops,
No ropes to direct me, No fences to crash and fall
Can’t they let me be myself? To run like a bloody black stallion
Deep in the woods were I was born, Look at me now my limbs are worn and torn

They whip me to run, until I fall and rise
They bet on me money, that can’t buy me love
If I loose the race, they call me a shame
If I win the race, they glorify my name

To run in elegance is a god’s gift,
My life has taken a turn, a sudden shift
My hunters have locked me in a stable
To be what I want, I can never be capable.

I could see everything, but I am tied down,
Without a window to this world
It shatters me and makes my feet cold
I will never quit because I am born with a heart of gold

When I was tired, I ran to the nearest stream
Now all that’s just a dream
What could buy me back my home?
I know neither of you nor anyone.

The rich gamble and waste their lives, sipping margarita's and mock tails
Some win and some loose on me, some call me a champ and some curse me
I can never feel strong, that I felt in times far too long
How longer can I go on? Life seems like an awful song

No police, No law, No orders, No barrier
I can’t be all I am and wish to be, who listens to my hearts voice?
I run like wind and prance like the stars that sparkle
I have wings of an angel and the sharpness of an eagle.
I am not human, I am just a racehorse

They show me the way, to run on a track everyday
I was happy in the woods, because I never had a way
If I just believe in myself, nothing can possibly stop me
Yet one day I live in glory and the other in agony

They use me to depict themselves social
The race is just a gamble, nothing special
I am not going to run to win for them
I am not a fool to fill their pockets with gems

None have seen me how I can run
When I rebel I’ll run you through hell
I would be wrong but I know I am not
A beast born to run, to listen to you, I am no nun

See the world with my troubles eyes
Go through the pain like my other friends
Now I feel I am wasted, exhausted
To rise and run to fame, I was never interested

The humans stole me and my everything
Woods are my power, passion and pain
The morning rays light the gloom on my face
In hope to be set free someday

Forced to run, I am forced to chase
There lies a truth that’s unsaid
In life to be free, ask me I’ll make you feel it
To know its worth, just look into my eyes

All the things in my life are out of my hand
Everything that’s happening around me I never understand
I know I am just a gamble and I am misused
I will fight for my freedom and never bow down till my end.

I have none to win for; I have none to loose or let down
Every run, I run for myself
To feel my power, not for money
Not for glory to shower

I saw the seasons pass
I saw the leaves fall and turn to rust
I loved the raindrops
But I hate this drenching pain.

I had the answer to everything
My life is fallen and everything’s taken away
Not a moment that is mine
I am not happy, nothing seems fine.
I would be happy if tomorrow never comes

I don’t want to wake up
For another day, for an another race
Someday I want to break free from these ropes
And run far way and keep running all the way

Just one breath, just one chance
Ill run away, far away too divine
Won’t look back even for one last glance
Ill run away until you won’t see me anymore

None have seen me really run
I’ll make earth look like heaven
Sit on my back, Ill ride you through hell
I show you all, how I can turn evil and immoral

I think ill never get back to the lovely woods
They'll keep me here for always
My jockey makes me run like a champion
That’s not true; just remember as I warn all
I run because I am a bloody black stallion.
I run because I am a born champion
