Wooden Horse (Caspar Hauser's Song) Lyrics

 Suzanne Vega
 
 I came out of the darkness
 Holding one thing
 A small white wooden horse
 I'd been holding inside
 
 And when I'm dead
 If you could tell them this
 That what was wood became alive
 What was wood became alive
 
 In the night the walls disappeared
 In the day they returned
 "I want to be a rider like my father"
 Were the only words I could say
 
 And when I'm dead
 If you could tell them this
 That what was wood became alive
 What was wood became alive
 
 Alive
 And I fell under
 A moving piece of sun
 Freedom
 
 I came out of the darknes
Holding one thing
 I know I have a power
 I am afraid I may be killed
 
 But when I'm dead
 If you could tell them this
 That what was wood became alive
 What was wood became alive
 Alive
