Riding the dark
horse
of sadness
Each day
or night
The dark horse
is
my companion

We ride
through life
on a
dark stream
of light

Riding along
side
is depression
My second
companion

We ride
together
In search
of
happiness
We never find

Riding the dark
horse
through this life
I'm filled
with sorrow
Tears are inside

As I reflect
upon my
journey
Through life
I see
that the Dark horse
has always been
what I ride
The dark horse
has always
been
by my
side

Continuing
to ride
the dark horse
in this life
Until I
die
Exchanging
the dark horse
for
white
As I cross
the great
divide
Entering
the gates
of life
on the other side
Where happiness
I may
finally find
Leaving the dark horse
of sorrow
behind

Taking my two
companions sorrow
and
depression
with me
As I ride
to the other
side
Where their
appearance
changes
To laughter and joy

As I dismount
on heavens
shore
Filled with so
much joy

Looking back
on my journey
That I rode to heavens
door
I finally see
the beauty
inside my companions
that rode
with me
upon life's shores

They changed
before my eyes
becoming
laughter and joy
Beautiful
spirits
of love
to behold
That rode
on the dark
horse
with me
till reaching
heavens shore.
