Analysis of Mustang
Here we come a galloping
Across the emerald plains
Carefree and happy
The wind tugging at our manes
Just on a whim
We chase a passing cloud
Then watch the golden sunset
Nickering out loud
Then along came the white man
A painted horse to claim
He tried to break our nature
He tried to make us tame
But across those emerald plains
our hearts will ever be
Like the wind in our manes
Strong, wild and free
