Some Horses Are Coming  by - Murtagh and Broken Destiny  age 9
It is meant to go along with the song "Some horses are coming" by Robert Vavra, from the Horses of the Wind album.

In the starlit darkness
At the dawn of time
Where nothing yet stirs,
Some horses are coming.

Mere mortal creatures sing
Awaiting the liberating dawn,
When a new song begins.
Some horses are coming.

A herald sings softly,
Summoning forth the equus,
Who await in the distance.
Some horses are coming.

From far away they come,
A distant, surging rhythm
Blending with the wind
Some horses are coming.

Closer they come,
Equines of the dawn,
Heralding their arrival
Some horses are coming.

The world rejoices as they near
Galloping past in the dawn
Thousands pouring around us.
Some horses are coming.

Neighs assert their power
As they surge onwards
The world rejoices, for
Some horses are coming.

From large and small,
Stallions, mares and foals,
They gallop around us.
Some horses are coming.

Away into the dawn they run
At the beginning of time,
To the four corners of the earth.
Some horses are coming.

In the dawn and darkness,
The heralds of a new era,
It falls silent for their song.
Some horses have arrived!
