Lyrics

The sun dips low, a golden haze, across the meadow green
Where once I watched them graze and play, a joy I’ve seldom seen
The gentle creatures, coats so bright, manes like silken thread
They carried burdens, light and slight, yet peace upon them spread.


(Chorus)
And I, oh Lord, I watch and weep, this fragile earthly grace
These gentle ponies, secrets keep, of love and time and place
They bow their heads, they do not strive, accepting what’s ordained
And I, in all my lack, I strive, a lesson yet unchained.


(Verse 2)
I saw them born, their wobbly legs, their eyes so new and clear
I watched them run, through sunlit dregs, banishing all fear
They trusted hands, a loving touch, a whispered gentle name
And in that faith, I sought so much, a solace for my shame.


(Chorus)
And I, oh Lord, I watch and weep, this fragile earthly grace
These gentle ponies, secrets keep, of love and time and place
They bow their heads, they do not strive, accepting what’s ordained
And I, in all my lack, I strive, a lesson yet unchained.


(Bridge)
But now the fields are bare and cold, the winter winds they sigh
And in my heart, a story told, of joy that cannot fly
They’re just a memory now, it seems, a painted, faded scene
And I am left with broken dreams, and what has been, what’s been.


(Chorus)
And I, oh Lord, I watch and weep, this fragile earthly grace
These gentle ponies, secrets keep, of love and time and place
They bow their heads, they do not strive, accepting what’s ordained
And I, in all my lack, I strive, a lesson yet unchained.


(Outro)
Oh, teach me, Lord, to bow my head, to bear the burdens too
Like gentle ponies, bravely led, to find my way to You.
