Horses are creatures who worship the earth
As they gallop on feet of ivory
Constrained by the wonder of dying and birth
The horses still run, they are free
My body is merely the shell of my soul
But the flesh must be given its due
Like a pony that carries its rider back home
Like an old friend that's tried and been true
I had a vision of eagles and horses
High on a ridge in a race with the wind
Going higher and higher and faster and faster
On eagles and horses I'm flying again
Eagles inhabit the heavenly heights
They know neither limit nor bound
They're the guardian angels of darkness and light
They see all and hear every sound
My spirit will never be broken or caught
For the soul is a free-flowing thing
Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought
To rise up on glorious wings
I had a vision of eagles and horses
High on a ridge in a race with the wind
Going higher and higher and faster and faster
On eagles and horses I'm flying again
My body is merely the shell of my soul
But the flesh must be given its due
Like a pony that carries its master back home
Like an old that's tried and been true
My spirit will never be broken or caught
For the soul is a free-flowing thing
Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought
To rise up on glorious wings
I had a vision of eagles and horses
High on a ridge in a race with the wind
Going higher and higher and faster and faster
On eagles and horses I'm flying again

Just thought you'd like to know that we've used your wonderful video to teach an entire preschool this song to sing to their mothers for mother's day. You're wonderful!

This song was written by Andra Willis Muhoberac for her son and her son contacted me, so I'll let him know as well.

Your love for your nephew Thomas comes through very clear. I especially like the sign at the end. That looks very familiar. Beautiful performance.

Esther,
Your timing and voice is beautiful, but your heart sings loud and clear. Tomas is a very very lucky little being to have an aunt who loves him that much. I just began learning it for my son who is 3. I hope to do it half as well and keep from crying, it is a beautiful song.
Thank you for your version. I will keep playing and loving it.
