The Barr Brothers Let There Be Horses song lyrics

Mary,

You would not be the woman that you are

If someone could mend your troubled heart

That would be easier

but that would be wrong

Water,

Sometimes I think my cup might overfill

As if God and the Devil had struck a deal

Sayin' you can have this one

after I'm done

Oh, let me hear music

Like you hear music

Like you were just born

Oh, let there be horses

Let there be danger

Let there be one song

A song for the little man

A song for his wife

and his two charmed children's children and his noble life

People,

Want love but have little for themselves

They pray for a stranger to lift their veil

That would be everyone

That would be us

Children,

That would never keep us from itself

We'll dance through a window

We reap and yell

But you are a daughter

You are a son

Oh, let me have patience

Like you have patience

Like you were old

Oh, let there be horses

There will be danger

Let there be one song

A song for the little man

A song for his wife

and his two charmed children's children and his noble life
