Ride On

I rode him as he trodded Stepping high, he nodded His mane waving in the air As though he had no care I saw the spirit in him rise With a gleam in his eyes Step proud, I thought he heard For he nodded with every word Sweat seeping from the pores From the saddle which brought the sores Ride on I felt in my heart Ride on, let us not part Ride on, ride even in the dark Ride on for I wished not to park He tired so here we will stay Resting here awaiting the day Ride on even in my dream For I felt it would redeem My hunger and my pain Riding on striving to gain Peace and solitude to be found And the joy stomping upon the ground Ride glory ride, ride with pride Ride glory with every stride Ride forever I would pray Ride on at the break of day
