Prairie Song
Today, I’m a horse, wild and free,
head high, mane flowing, galloping,
chasing clouds across grassy sea.
Today, I’m a horse, wild and free,
not even the wind can catch me.
I’m music. Hear my hooves singing?
Today, I’m a horse, wild and free,
head high, mane flowing, galloping...
galloping ... galloping ...
head high, mane flowing, galloping,
chasing clouds across grassy sea.
Today, I’m a horse, wild and free,
not even the wind can catch me.
I’m music. Hear my hooves singing?
Today, I’m a horse, wild and free,
head high, mane flowing, galloping...
galloping ... galloping ...
