Let There Be Horses Lyrics

Mary
You would not be the woman that you are
if someone could mend your troubled heart
That would be easier
but that would be wrong

Water
Sometimes I think my cup might overfill
As if God and the Devil struck a deal
saying “You can have this one
after I'm done”

Oh, let me hear music
like you hear music
like you were just born
Oh, let there be horses
Let there be danger
Let there be one song
a song for the little man
a song for his wife and
his two charmed children
and his noble life

People
want love but have little for themselves
or pray for a stranger to lift their veil
That would be everyone
That would be us

Children
Light would never keep us from itself
It bends to our window,
we weep and yell
But you are a daughter
You are a son

Oh, let me have patience
like you have patience
like you were old
Oh, let there be horses
For there will be danger
Let there be one song
a song for the little man
a song for his wife and
his two charmed children
and his noble life
