I run for the complete joy of living
Hindered neither by human weight nor reins
I shift and spin and almost fly
As unleashed adrenaline throbs through my veins.

With rider aboard, I might stumble or fall.
I might be made to quit before I am through.
But alone, no obstacle stands in my way
My hooves lay claim to all within my view.

I leap when I should and I land when it's right
No one judges me or tells me I'm wrong.
Some spirit takes hold of my muscles and bones.
Don't blink, 'cause in a moment, I'm gone!

I am like a searing lightning bolt.
You only think you've harnessed my essence.
Yet, without you, I swap leads, collect and depart.
You "train" me to make up for your presence.

I might take a liking to your companionship,
If not, you couldn't catch me when day is done.
You believe all I need is a job to perform...
But I'm a horse, and God made me to run.
