A Silent TearStand proud wild horse of the desert plain Do not let them your spirit claim Stand tall, stand firm, do not give in Though domination men seek to win.God made you strong and gave you heart And set you free right from the start To roam the valleys and the hills Yet your freedom men seek to steal.Don’t they know or can’t they see This is where you were meant to be. Other beasts of burden cannot compare Nor your beauty do they share. If we listen we might hear |
