Inspiration in Hard Times: Mustang Soul

There are times when we all need to band together to take action to protect the ones we love. As advocates for wild horses that concept is deeply ingrained in all of our readers.

The current global health crisis has driven home the interconnected nature of all of us, and to the entire planet.

At WHE we are continuing our advocacy for the wild ones. Critical comment periods, legislative actions, litigation preparation, field monitoring, have not come to a halt. Advocacy moves forward.

Yet, we want to take a moment to recognize our readers and the stress of this moment in time. All of you are committed to your beloved wild ones; protecting them from harm lies in your soul. Protecting your community and human loved ones, through your actions, weighs on your hearts.

We are in this fight together and will weather the storm, the best we can, for all of our loved ones.

A bit of “the power of music” and the inspiration our wild horses instill in us as the resilient survivor they embody.

Songwriter Jennifer Johnson wrote a beautiful song titled “Mustang Soul.”

“Mustang Soul – I wrote this song after seeing for the first time video of the US government ‘Bureau of Land Management’ chasing wild horses with helicopters ’rounding them up’.   I had only recently discovered that we have wild horses in the United States. I wonder how we have become so out of touch with the soul of this country, as our government captures these wild horses and holds captive the very symbol of American freedom.”~ Jennifer Johnson

Jennifer is offering a free download of the song on her website. Please contact her before using the song for any purpose other than your personal listening experience.http://www.jajohnsonmusic.com/wildhorses.cfm

Sing along Lyrics:

 ©Jennifer Johnson/Aquila Moon Publishing/Ascap

I WANNA SPIN ACROSS A WIDE OPEN DANCE FLOOR
I WANNA RUN DOWN A LONG WINDING ROAD
I WANNA DRIVE ON A STRAIGHT EMPTY HIGHWAY
AND FEEL THE WIND AS SHE BLOWS,

I WANNA FLOAT ON THE WAVES OF THE OCEAN
I WANNA STROLL DOWN A LONG SANDY SHOAL
I WANNA GAZE IN THE EYES OF A WILD HORSE
AND KNOW MY OWN MUSTANG SOUL

I’LL RUN THRU THE WIND, CHASING BLUE SKIES
I’LL RUN THRU THE WIND, I’LL RUN FOR MY LIFE

I WANNA STAND ON THE OPEN PLAINS AT SUNSET
I WANNA RUN TOWARD THE FAR HORIZON’S GLOW
I WANNA LAY BENEATH THE VAST STARRY MOONLIGHT
AND DREAM OF PLACES TO GO

I WANNA FOLLOW THE ENDLESS HORIZON
I WANNA SEE THE WILD HORSES ROAM
I WANNA LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE
AND KNOW MY OWN MUSTANG SOUL

I WANNA KNOW MY OWN MUSTANG SOUL
I WANNA SEE THE WILD WILD HORSES ROAM.
