Just down the forest path
Is a clearing where I see
Horses of all kinds and breeds
Gathered, though they're free

There's Mustangs, mares, and thoroughbreds,
Ponies, stallions, too...
And, it makes me wonder why it is
We can't live the way they do

They've learned to live together,
With all the other breeds...
They've found a way to get along
While fulfilling all their needs

Wouldn't it be wonderful
To learn the lesson here
That all of us could get along,
If we'd just forget our fear...

Maybe someday we will see
Just down the forest path...
Peace, and love, and harmony
Has finally come to pass.
