"Wild Horses" lyrics

"Wild Horses"

In the bitter cold of winter, I watched him as he ran
Driven by a freedom most people never understand
Now, they've built a fence around him
But, there's still fire in his eyes
Don't they know when the cold wind blows
It's just a matter of time?

You can try
But, you can't hold back
You can't hold back
You can't hold back wild horses

Now, I've built my world around you
But, this is not where you belong
You're too much like him
You can never be fenced in, for long
I might hold on

But, you can't hold back
You can't hold back
You can't hold back wild horses

No, you can't back hold back
(Everybody knows)
You can't hold back
(You gotta let him go)
You can't hold back wild horses
