Wild Horses Run Free
Rita Nashell McClendon
Wild horses run free!
I don’t think any stallion could ever tame me.
Wind blowing through my mane
Feeling carefree without any pain
I gallop to the brook.
Sweet waters have I took.
No responsibilities
No one to worry me
Other hearts have been taken captive.
I’m still alive and very active.
I’m a valiant pioneer.
I venture out without any fear.
Why would I want someone to tie me down?
I live to trot from town to town.
No one may understand my spirit.
I just believe many fear it.
Many may say I’m unruly,
But I don’t want to be treated cruelly.
Sometimes I get a little lonely and wished I had a love and a friend,
But I don’t want to trust any one ever again.
Who can tame my heart?
Who could use their lasso to rope me in?
