Why

This song is about writer Phillip LaRue’s sister Brianna, who has cerebral palsy.When I see you, I see wild horses

Fenced in, never knowing the mountain side

When I see you, I see the open ocean

Bordered in, always waiting on the tide

But it never comes

When I see you, I see a wild fire

Waiting on, a sip of kerosene

Cause I know, I know, I know

There’s a lot inside you

That’s brighter than this world has ever seen

They just don’t see it yet

But I do, I do, sister

And I’d do, I’d do anything for you

When I hold you, I feel like I’m holding glass

I’m so scared, in the morning it might break

When I hold you, I’m holding all I passed

All the dreams, of long yesterdays

When we gonna see you

When we gonna see you alive

When we gonna see you

When we gonna see you alive

I just wanna see

I just wanna see you turn to light

When heaven’s gates open up and let you in

This place is gonna lose its greatest gift

They just don’t see it yet

But I do, I do, sister 2x

And I’d do, I’d do anything for you

Anything for you

When I see you, I see wild horses
