Little bobby playing with his six year old friend
plastic horses gallop on imaginary wind
they play all day when bobby asked what he wants next year when he turns seven
with a sigh his friends replies "are there horses in heaven?"
are there horses in heaven?
can we ride them into the stars?
will they take us up to Jesus and drop us off in his arms?
will i know how to ride them before i get to be seven?
i just got to know
are there horses in heaven?
after months and months of chemo
bobby's friend is getting weak.
he spends less and less time here
and he can hardly speak
bobby asks what he wants the month when he turns seven
he died hold of his little horse
and he says "are there horses in heaven?"
are there horses in heaven?
can we ride them into the stars?
will they take us up to Jesus drop us off in his arms?
will i know how to ride them before i get to be seven?
someone tell me please
are there horses in heaven?
bobby didn't see his friend after that day came
his mama couldn't find the words
she didn't know how to explain
she finally told little bobby "your friend never reached seven."
bobby said "i know mommy told me. oh guess what? there are horses in heaven."
there are horses in heaven
we can ride them to the stars
because they took them up to Jesus dropped him off in his arms
and he knew how to ride there
he never got to see seven
but now he knows there are horses in heaven
there are horses in heaven
we can ride them to the stars
because they took him up to Jesus and dropped him up in his arms
and he knew how to ride them
he never got to see seven
now he knows, there are horses in heaven
now he knows there are horses in heaven
