Wooden Horse - Lyrics by Suzanne Vega


Lyrics
I came out of the darkness

Holding one thing
A small white wooden horse
I'd been holding inside


And when I'm dead

If you could tell them this

That what was wood became alive

What was wood became alive


In the night the walls disappeared

In the day they returned
"I want to be a rider like my father"

Were the only words I could say


And when I'm dead

If you could tell them this

That what was wood became alive

What was wood became alive


Alive

And I fell under
A moving piece of sun

Freedom

I came out of the darkness

Holding one thing
I know I have a power
I am afraid I may be killed


But when I'm dead

If you could tell them this

That what was wood became alive

What was wood became alive

Alive
