The rocking horse came
From an old oak tree
Just missed the house
It was hit by lightningMy daddy painted that horse
A midnight blue
Shooting stars
And silver horseshoesAnd it was something magic out of something frighteningThat's how I live my life
I take it as it comes, and I find the hidden love
When it's pouring down on me
In my mind I see the rocking horse inside the tree
A broken heart
Means deeper feelings
A thorn in the flesh
Means room for healingOh salt in your tears
Can open your eyes
Wounded years
Make you realizeIt's just something magic out of something frighteningThat's how I live my life
I take it as it comes, and I find the hidden love
When it's pouring down on me
In my mind I see a rocking horse inside the treeOo-oo, things aren't always as they seem
Oo-oo, take the nightmare from my dreams
That's how I live my life
I take it as it comes, and I find the hidden love
When it's pouring down on me
In my mind I see the rocking horse inside the treeOh, the tree
Yeah, the tree-ee-ee
Oh, the tree-ee-ee
