Don't Cry for the Horses
By Brenda Riley-Seymore
Don't cry for the horses that life has set free
A million white horses forever to be
Don't cry for the horses now in God's hands
As they dance and they prance to a heavenly band.
They were ours as a gift but never to keep
As they close their eyes forever to sleep
Their spirits unbound on silver wings they fly
A million white horses against the blue sky.
Look up into heaven you'll see them above
The horses we lost, the horses we loved
Manes and tails flowing they Gallop through time
They were never yours, they were never mine.
Don't cry for the horses. They will be back someday,
When our time has come they will show us the way
On silver wings they will lift us to the warmth of the sun.
When our life is over and eternity has begun.
We will jump the sun and dance over the moon
A ballet of horses and riders on the winds to a heavenly
tune. Do you hear that soft nicker close to your ear?
Don't cry for the horses, love the ones that are here.
Don't cry for the horses lift up your sad eyes
Can't you see them as they fly by?
A million White Horses free from hunger and pain
Their spirits set free until we ride again
