Fire in their eyes
The mist of disruption in their gallop
The tension all coming together
And determination in their grip
Those feet can trample lions
Those feet can divide herds
A massive body of movement
A massive lapse of time
Their glory in their strength
Their glory in their might
Rising on the heat of the sun
Rising on the setting of the sun
Strong as an ox
Strong as an oak tree
Breaking cedar
Breaking quickly
Riding high till noon
Riding high till evening
The dust kick up
The dust flees
The dust ceases in their path
As smart as an eagle
As clever as a bear
As quick as a fox
As calm as a dove
As mindful as a peacock
The attributes never end
As they portrayed courage
grit, bravery, and grace
Champions of their own destiny
Forgers of their own legacy
