The Horse Race (Part 1)
Racehorses trot
Around the parade ring
These wonderful animals
From the sport of kings

The jockeys on board
In colours so bright
Like modern day gladiators
Into the fight

The public around
The stands do amble
Trying to guess
On which to gamble

The bookmakers standing there
Shouting out names
Enticing the punters
To give up their gains

The horses are cantering
Down to the start
All riders hear
Is one beating heart

That of their own
Drums in their ears
The tension, adrenalin
Drowns out the fears

The horses are locked away
one by one
The gates they fly open
The race has begun

Wind beats their faces
Rain stings their eyes
As these galloping stars
Race for the prize
