Lonesome Cavalry
Words & Music by Chapman James
Riding on my human
Heaven knows whereto
Trotting down intention-laden paths
I’ve got to pull his reins in
So He’ll go straight ahead
Instead of wandering off for greener smelling grass
Sometimes on my human
I pass a kindred soul
I wonder if she recognizes me
Cause she’s up on her human
Distracted and misled
She wants a friend, her human wants a steed
Chorus:
Move along….. my human
Get along… my trusty steed
Here’s a song… for my human
We’re a lonesome cavalry
Humans brand each other
By color, shape and size
And follow those of favored skin and birth
Breeds may run together but one by one as they go by
The touch of every rider shows their worth
I ride up to a Cliffside
And look out on the world
Every human herded to and fro
Some stampede the masses
Others hold their ground
So much to learn, so far they have to go:
Chorus:
At night when things are quiet
When my human’s fast asleep
I gaze up at the stars and think of home
I’d like to get back someday
But this journey makes me feel
Without my human I’d go back alone
Chorus:
