"Don't Cry for the Horses"

Written 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 gallop 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
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 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 gallop 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 Do you hear that soft nicker Close to your ear? Don't cry for the horses Love the ones that are here
