A Horse of Many Colors

When I was just a colt, I could already see

The other horses all looked different from me

The fur on my front legs was a golden yellow

But it was brown and black on the other fellows

When I drank from the pond and I saw my face

A big white blaze curved all over the place

Other horses had a star or a stripe

But the fur on their faces was dark, not white

How can I be proud of my own fur

If all the other horses are a different color?

How do I know there are blue eyes around

When all the ones I see are a chocolate brown?

The answers to these questions were hard to find

Until I met the human who would always be mine

She’d wanted a horse with golden fur

And my blue eyes made her soul stir

In the show ring all the judges would note

That I was the only paint palomino

My tall white stockings showed off my stride

My big blue eyes would open wide

My long white tail flew out behind me

And my golden coat gleamed as bright as could be

Maybe I’ll be the only yellow horse

Who goes to a show to jump a course

But your coat doesn’t matter, it matters what you do

Cause in the whole wide world, there’s only one you
