Rockin' Horse

The rocking horse came

From an old oak tree

Just missed the house

When it was hit by lightning

My daddy painted that horse

A midnight blue

Shooting stars and silver horseshoes

And it was something magic out of something frightening

That's how I live my life

I take it as it comes

And I find the hidden love

When it's pouring down on me

In my mind I see

The rocking horse inside the tree

A broken heart

Means deeper feelings

A thorn in the flesh

Means room for healing

Oh salt in your tears

Can open your eyes

Wounded years

Make you realize

It's just something magic out of something frightening

(2x)

Things aren't always as they seem

Take the nightmare from my dreams

That's how I live my life

I take it as it comes

And I find the hidden love

When it's pouring down on me

In my mind I see

The rocking horse inside the tree

A broken heart

Means deeper feelings

A thorn in the flesh

Means room for healing

Oh salt in your tears

Can open your eyes

Wounded years

Make you realize

It's just something magic out of something frightening
