Sara Evans Rocking Horse lyrics

(Sara Evans/Matt Evans/Marcus S. Hummon)



The rocking horse came

From an old oak tree

Just missed the house

When it was hit by lightning

My daddy painted that horse

A midnight blue

Shooting stars and silver horseshoes

And it was something magic out of something frightening



Chorus

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 tree

A broken heart

Means deeper feelings

A thorn in the flesh

Means room for healing

Oh salt in your tears

Can open your eyes

Wounded years

Make you realize

It`s just something magic out of something frightening



Repeat Chorus



Bridge

Things aren`t always as they seem

Take the nightmare from my dreams



Repeat Chorus
