Look at Me I Am a Horse
Cleo T. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at me I'm a bird
No pain will ever shoot me down
Look at me I'm a horse
No pain will ever catch me up
I'm on the run now

They say there's no escape
They say that what you see if everything you get
But I know there's a place
There's a home for us

If there's no way out
They've been searching searching
Never heard about
I know there's a world behind so bye

Look at me I'm a bird
No pain will ever shoot me down
Look at me I'm a horse
No pain will ever catch me up
I'm on the run now

If there's no way out
They've been searching searching
Never heard about
I know there's a place
A home for us
I know

If they say no they say maybe
they say we don't know
I say it's our time
To say bye
Look at me I'm a bird
No pain will ever shoot me down
Look at me I'm a horse
No pain will ever catch me up
I'm on the run now

On the run
On the run
On the run
On the run
On the run
On the run
On the run
