Saddle Up Anyway

Lyric

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished about 10 hours ago 1 min read

Verse 1

Dust on my boots and fear in my chest

The sun’s sinking low putting me to the test

The wind carries warnings I’m not ready to hear

But my hands find the reins

As I ride through the fear

Chorus

So I saddle up anyway

With hot fire burning in my gut

Come hell… come high water

Come what may

I gotta saddle up anyway

Trouble will always blow in

But I'm too strong to give in

And when the darkness runs deep

His Faith I will keep

You must saddle up everyday

Verse 2

Life’s journey runs long

And dust bites at my heels

But the saddle sits firm showing me what's real

The stars shimmer in the distance

And my breath runs short and tight

Oh, baby you know, i’m still in the fight

Chorus

So I saddle up anyway

With hot fire burning in my gut

Come hell… come high water

Come what may

I gotta saddle up anyway

Trouble will always blow in

But I'm too strong to give in

And when the darkness runs deep

His Faith I will keep

You must saddle up everyday

Bridge

The night may be dark

The moon might lose its light

Each stumble’s just a lesson

Each fall's worth the fight

And i only let fear win

If I never even try

So I lift my head high

and let doubt roll on by

Chorus

So I saddle up anyway

With hot fire burning in my gut

Come hell… come high water

Come what may

I gotta saddle up anyway

Trouble will always blow in

But I'm too strong to give in

And when the darkness runs deep

His Faith I will keep

You must saddle up everyday
