The rider

Running horses run
not knowing why they do
they run from pain of whips
and kicks from rider's shoe

running horses run
their fate upon dear rider
with hesitations, still no questions
more pain as they run faster

running horses run
with faith upon their rider
those without, they finish last
stronger faith be then the winner

we are as running horses
running in the track of life
our one true goal,
to end unending strife

we are as running horses
running with perpetual pain
but with some faith we'll finish
and we'll have all of life to gain

we are as running horses
through pain our rider prods
never to lose hope, nor give up
for our rider is our God
