Silver horse

Alexander Zejak 1997 (Bijelo Polje)



Hey you child in night
Why don't you open heart again
Hey you dearly light
You wink the dark and come to play

Many skies above are rushing down to hear you pray
Many moons now fight to hear your laughter and to say:

Joyful am I for a mountain is my den,
And to shine upon you is my duty and when
All the demons and dire white creatures
Pull you by the soul and silver soulful brain,
Say then my fellow friend: I am free and young and brave;

As a silver horse;
Gallop to a silver moon, away.
