The rockin' 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 horse shoes
And it was something magic out of somethin' frightening

That's how I live my life
I take it as it comes
And I find the hidden love
When its pouring down on me
In my mind, I see the rocking horse inside the tree

A broken heart (broken heart)
Means deeper feelings
Thorn in the flesh (thorn in the flesh)
Means room for healing
Oh, salt in your tears (oh, salt in your tears)
Can open your eyes
Wounded years (wounded years)
Make you realize
That it's just something magic out of something frightening

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

Ooh, things aren't always as they seem
Ooh, 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 tree

Oh, the tree
Yeah, the tree
Oh, the tree
