A younger man with a lions heart
To face the brave new world
Now he can run but he can't hide

From the love she felt inside
They raised the sails on that mornin'
Against the turning tide

And from the shore he watched her smile
For the pride she felt inside


Chorus
There's a light across the horizon tonight
With her white horses by her side

And she whispers low to the skies
White horses hold him high


Brighter days 'neath the autumn sun
For the fortune he will claim
And by his heart her silver chain

And the love that still remains

Chorus

There's a light across the horizan tonight
With her white horses by her side
And she whispers low to the skies

White horses hold him high

She stands on that shore and it feels like rain

And the year goes so slow 'til he's home again
And she whispers low to the darkened sky
White horses hold him high

This lion heart never dies
White horses hold him high
