I was born to run
Wind in my hair
Without wings
I could leap over the moon
My power and grace
From within my heart
Beating steady
God set my rightful place
Wild and strong I am
Never shackled or chained
Nor tamed
I live because I can
My passion forever flows
A protective anger belies
Undying concern
A jealously for my own
My courage over the years
Ever shown in many ways
Facing death
Some would shed silent tears
A loyal companion I would be
To the very bitter end
Never doubt
History will someday see
A symbol for some of time past
I live hunted by those who covet
And hate
I wonder if my story will last
Standing as the days are done
Eyes fixed on the eternities
Forever proud
I was born to run
