Rockin' Horse

The rocking horse came from an old oak tree

Just missed the house 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

Broken heart means deeper feelings

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

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

Ooh, things aren't always as they seem

Ooh, 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

Oh, treeYeah, tree

Tree
