THE CLYDESDALE I KNOW

THE CLYDESDALE I KNOW HAS WINGS MADE OF LOVE

GLOOMY CLOUDS AND RAIN.... HE CAN RISE FAR ABOVE.

HE CAN TAKE ME WITH HIM WHEN HE FLIES ABOVE PAIN

WE TOGETHER FLY UP......... AND DOWN FALLS THE RAIN.

SMILES AND SMILES FOR THE JOURNEY WE SHARE

KISSES FROM MY CLYDESDALE.....TO YOU.... NONE CAN COMPARE.

FAR AWAY GO MY TROUBLES

MY WORRIES GROW SMALL

I LET GO OF MY GRIP.... TO CONTROL ...THEM ALL.

UP AWAY TOGETHER, WE FLY WITH DELIGHT

MY CLYDESDALE AND ME... OUR HEARTS BOUND TIGHT.

THANK YOU MY CLYDE ...FOR THE SIGHT THAT I SEE

FOR THE VISION TO LOOK.... WHERE NOTHING SEEMS TO BE.

THANK YOU FOR LESSONS... MY HEART QUICKLY LEARNED

FOR THE LOVE IN MY HEART

AND THE RESPECT THAT YOU EARNED.

I ONCE THOUGHT I KNEW....HOW THE WORLD... TRULY WAS

BUT YOU GIVEN ME FREEDOM

AND WHY......WELL....JUST BECAUSE

WHAT CLYDE SAYS TO ME

I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND CLYDE SAYS TO ME TO ME

I’M HUNGRY HUNGRY MAMA....EXTRA GRAIN PLEASE FOR ME?

PATIENT AND KIND... HE STANDS TALL AND WAITS

ON TIME HE APPROVES.....AND TARDY HE HATES.

HURRY UP MAMA THE BIG EYES SAY

I’VE BEEN WAITING ALL NIGHT... AND NOW IT IS... DAY

YOU CAN MOVE FASTER... OF THAT I AM SURE

I’VE A PROBLEM WITH HUNGER.... AND GRAIN IS THE CURE.

YOU CAN WALK FASTER... WITH THE PAIL MUCH MORE FULL

THE BIG HORSE STANDS ASIDE ....SO ITS MORE POURABLE

DUMP IT IN MAMA......I REALLY CANT WAIT

I NEED THAT GRAIN NOW ....OR DRAMA I’LL CREATE!

THE BUCKET IS DUMPED AND CLYDE IS NOW CALM

STAY BY ME MAMA.....AND STROKE WITH YOUR PALM

THANK YOU MAMA FOR THE HUGS THAT YOU GIVE

WITH CLYDE BY MY SIDE I AM CONFIDANT AND PROUD

I LIKE Who AM

AND SO DOES THE REST OF THE CROWD

WITH CLYDE UNDERNEATH ME

I RIDE ABOVE FRET

I SEE NO COMPLICATIONS

FROM THE BLUE RIBBONS I WILL GET

WITH CLYDE IN MY HEART

I STAY HONEST AND SURE

INSPIRED BY HIS LOVE

THAT’S SIMPLE AND PURE.

WITH CLYDE IN MY MY ARMS

I LET GO OF MY CARES

I HOLD ONTO MY HERO

AND THE SOUL THAT HE BARES.

WITH CLYDE IN MY MIND

I AM BRILLIANT AND WISE

INSPIRED BY AWE

MY OWN DOUBTS IN DISGUISE.

WITH CLYDE IN MY CORNER

I AM BOLD AND IM BRAVE

I STAND UP TO SCRATCHES

THAT TRIED TO PUT’M IN HIS GRAVE.

WITH CLYDE IN MY WALLET

I SHOW EVERYONE I SEE

THE HORSE I MADE FAMOUS

THE HORSE THAT SAVED ME.

                                                                     SARA SHALDA

MY CLYDE CAN SMILE

MY Clyde CAN SMILE

CAN YOUR HORSE DO THAT?

HE SNEAKS UP BEHIND ME

IN HIS FUNNY BROWN HAT

'

HE KNOWS

MY CLYDESDALE IS SMART

HE KNOW WHEN I’M SAD

HE JUST STANDS AND HE WAITS

I WALK UP TO HIM WITH MY HEART FEELING BAD

HE WELCOMES ME IN

TO A SPIRIT THAT HEALS

HE WRAPS ME IN CLYDE

AND HOW VERY GOOD IT FEELS

MY TEARS OF GREAT WOE

 SOON START TO BE DRY

I SETTLE AND SOOTH

AS WE STAND EYE TO BIG EYE

THE FOG FINALLY FADES

AND THE WEIGHT GOES AWAY

MY SMILE ONCE LOST

SOON RETURNS AND I SAY

THANK YOU MY FRIEND

FOR THE HORSE THAT YOU ARE

FOR THE DREAM THAT CAME TRUE

WHEN I WISHED ON A STAR

I WISHED ON A STAR

FOR TRUE LOVE IN MY HEART

EXPECTING A MAN

LIKE MY GREAT HUSBAND ART

WHAT I FOUND INSTEAD

WAS A TREASURE INDEED

A BIG HORSE NAMED CLYDE

MY SAVIOR MY STEED

SEE THE SMILE?
 

THANK YOU

THANK YOU CLYDE FOR THE BREATH THAT YOU BREATHE

WHEN YOU NUZZLE MY NECK

AND TUG AT MY SLEEVE

YOU TUG AT MY HEART

WHEN YOU MOOCH ME FOR TREATS

AND SMILE SO BIG

WHEN I GIVE YOU REPEATS

TWO IS GOOD

MORE SLOBBER AND WETTER

A NECK PET IS FINE

BUT A BELLY SCRATCH’S BETTER

LOVE ME.... MORE ......MAMA

MY CLYDE ALWAYS ASKS

GIVE ME MORE CANDY

AND SCRATCHING TASKS

KISS ARE GOOD

WITH MY FACE UP TO YOURS

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

LOVING MY CLYDE ENSURES

HUGGING IS HUGE

AS BIG AS .......I CAN REACH

I HATE TO LET GO

NOT NEEDED...... IS SPEECH

THANK YOU CLYDE

FOR MY SOUL THAT YOU SAVED

A SOUL THAT WAS TRAPPED

IN EGO ENSLAVED

YOU TAUGHT ME HOW

TO LOVE IN PURE FACT

NEVER MINDING THE SIGHT

ONLY LOVING.....BY ACT

THANK YOU FOR SEEING

MY SPIRIT INSIDE

FOR TAMING MY ANGER

AND MY OWN..... SELFISH.....DARN PRIDE

YOU ABOVE ALL

KNEW MY STORY OF BLAME

MY DEEP AND DARK SECRETS

AND ALL OF..... MY SHAME

YOU LOVE ME ANYWAY

AND FOR THAT IM...... IN DEBT

TO YOU GOES ....MY ALLEGIANCE

YOU LESSONS I’LL NOT FORGET

Picking on me

ALL THE   WORLD THAT  I SEE

IS PICKING ON ME

THE WHOLE BIG PLANET

STUPID CHUNK A GRANIT

GOING OUTA ITS WAY

TO RUIN MY DAY

ALL OF THE LANDS

ARE CRUSHING MY PLANS

MY SMILING FACE

HAS TURNED TO DISGRACE

EVERYONE SEEMS

TO BE TRASHING MY DREAMS

SO I QUIT

KICK THE DIRT & SPIT

ILL JUST GO SIT BY MY HORSE

AND CRY OF COURSE

BUT A FEW MINUTES GO BUY

AND I SOON WONDER WHY

I CURSED ALL OF MAN

BUT FORGOT MY GREATEST FAN

I HAVE MY CLYDE

MY JOY AND MY PRIDE

ONCE MAD AND HOT

BUT NOW I AM NOT

CAUSE I ...HAVE MY CLYDE

AND HE’S AWESOME TO RIDE

I MADE HIM THAT WAY

GOOD JOB I MUST SAY

I GUESS THE WORLDS ALRIGHT

SO ILL SLEEP GOOD TONIGHT

WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES

 I CLOSE MY EYES

I HEAR THE CRIES

OF THE PEOPLE WORLD WIDE

THAT HAVE BEEN STRIPPED OF THEIR PRIDE

DAMAGED AND DEPRESSED

THEY FEEL HEAVY IN THEIR CHEST

LIFE’S JUST BEEN TOO CRUEL

AND THEY’VE BEEN PLAYED FOR A FOOL

NOTHING LEFT TO LIVE FOR

HOPE AND ENERGY NO MORE

BUT HOW DIFFERENT IT WOULD BE

IF THE POWER WAS GIVEN TO ME

I WOULD CHANGE EVERY HEART

AND WATCH EVIL DEPART

MY CHANGE WOULD NOT FAIL

CAUSE THEIR HEART WOULD MIRROR

THAT OF A CLYDESDALE

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD IT WOULD BE

IF WE ALL COULD JUST SEE

EACH OTHERS SPIRIT INSIDE

LIKE MY SWEET HORSE CLYDE
