RUNNING FREE
Across green grass, rolling plains and fields, shades of emerald
past buffalo grazing peacefully, deer, antelope, and predators too
trees that stood many years, silent witness to all life
great strides of thundering hooves, herd moving fleet and swift
mountain lions watch, keen eyes seeing oceans of horses
cougars roar sounds, mingling with thuds, many hooves striking ground
as onward we head, guided by stallions proud head leading
prarie and meadow, oceans of grasses left far behind
in the distant, cowboys watch, vast herd making way
their task, rounding up their cattle, many days work to do
sighting stallions and mares, drawa a weary sigh to men
ahh, simple freedom of the wild horses, life to enjoy
yet onward, do they gallop, strides strong and flowing
flanks rippling with powerful muscles in motion
bald eagles cry from bluest skies, defiance to the world
flying distant overhead, winged master of the winds
neighs and whinnies call forth from the herd
great stallion does neigh back, still on, still on
young foals run in the herd, mothers run beside
stallions gallop, protectors, watchful for predators, their eyes
in the distant, clear, crystal blue is seen, lake of water
call from the stallion, homeward bound are we, all
come forth, come forth my children, home awaits us
weary strides carry them, sweaty flanks, ragged breath
thunderous clouds billowing behind herd of horses
dark and awesome power, flashes of lightening bright
closer horses draw to home, shelter of the trees
pride of the colored stallion, white and brown markings
final calling neighs, safety of home is reached
thirsty horses drink deeply of lake, lush grass to graze
shade of trees shelter from winds and cleansing rain
true, tis home for but a time, but wild horses forever roam
out across vast spans of open lands, past wild animals
for all time eternal , will wild horses be running free
