"Dark Horses"

All the pictures on this blog post are from the Cloud the Stallion Facebook page.  Some of the horses pictured have been rounded up and are available for adoption.  Please go and check them out on Facebook and on the Cloud Foundation website.  

My family and I rocked out at Soulfest this summer up on Gunstock Mountain and one of my favorite bands, Switchfoot was there.  They are one of my favorites because their music is really inspirational and I like what they have to say.  They were AWESOME to go see and hear live and were just as good live as on their CDs!  We saw a bunch of other great bands at Soulfest too and I am so glad my parents brought us there.  I can't wait to go back again next year!!

This is one of Switchfoot's songs called "Dark Horses" and I want to share it with you today because it makes me want to keep fighting for the horses, and I hope it does that for you too.  I really like the words how it's talking about being born for the blue skies and sunrises and how we can survive the rain and all the pain. And I really like then end of the song where it says,

                                                                      Keep running with the dark horses

Hope makes the blood change courses

Keep running with the dark horses

Stand up with the dark horses

Keep running with the dark horses

Hope makes the blood change courses

WE CAN NEVER GIVE UP ON OUR HORSES AND WE MUST KEEP FIGHTING FOR THEM!!  I will not stop fighting until we have won for the horses!

Here are the lyrics for the song and a super cool video of them singing this song!  I LOVE SWITCHFOOT AND THEIR MUSIC!!!!!  ~Declan

"Dark Horses"

                                                                 

Yeah

I made my mistakes
I seen my heart cave in
I got my scars
I been to hell and back again

Born for the blue skies
We’ll survive the rain
Born for the sunrise
We’ll survive the pain

[Chorus:]
We’re singing…
Hey, you can’t count us out
We’ve been running up against the crowd
Yeah, we are the dark horses
We’re singing…
Wait! It’s not over now
We’ve been down but we’ve never been out
Yeah, we are the dark horses

We found the way out
The city takes everything it can
But outside the crowds
I can feel my lungs again

Born for the blue skies
We’ll survive the rain
Born for the sunrise
We’ll survive the pain

[Chorus]

We're singing
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la.

Yeah!

Born for the blue skies
Born for the blue skies
Born for the sunrise
We’ll survive the pain

[Chorus:]
We’re singing…
Hey, you can’t count us out
We’ve been running up against the crowd
Yeah, we are the dark horses
We’re singing…
Wait, don’t care what they say
We know we’ll find a way
Yeah! We are the dark horses

Yeah!

Laa la-la-la-la-laa
Laa la-la-la-la-laa

[Faded Voice:]
Keep running with the dark horses
Hope makes the blood change courses
Keep running with the dark horses
Stand up with the dark horses
Keep running with the dark horses
Hope makes the blood change courses
