The sight of a horse crossing 
highways is frightening
But not with the breed that can fly
She's risen up to the level of oak 
trees
Too low for the radar man's eyes

I am not much of a joiner she says
That's not where I draw my strength
Some of the go for the depth of 
field
While most of them go for the length

Me I will go for the hard 
combination
'Cause I have some need to belong
But I'm leaving this unkind of sign 
life behind me
I'll take what is mine and be gone

If you see something red flash 
across the horizon
It's not that your eyes aren't right
She's taking her place with the 
red-tailed hawks
And the broad winged birds in flight

The flying red horse from the ruby 
red north
Took off from her station to the 
south
And I swear to you that this story 
is true
I heard it right from her mouth

They think they can tame you, name 
you and frame you
Aim you where you don't belong
They know where you've been but not 
where you're going
And that is the source of the songs 
   (hum tune and fade)
