Earth a Little Lighter

When you walk across the earth Do the horses hear you first And lift their heads as if concerned That something has occurred To this world To this world You waved me from your car You looked so changed I couldn't wave back Our life past in a blur I never really knew you at all Maybe I saw you that time Because you burned a little brighter On your way out of this world To make the earth a little lighter. To make The earth A little ...lighter Shining ships and far off planes That head for ports unnamed Stand more chance of being tamed Than a life finally unchained To make the earth a little lighter To make the earth a little lighter
