They say
This is a golden year
A time for rapid change
Things to rearrange

They say
That patience is key
Where's the patience in me
To get what I need?

A little older
A little tired
I've never been much
Of a fire starter

Don't let me down
Year of the Horse
Bring me a flame
To light my course
Give me a chance
Give me something more
No one's the same
In the Year of the Horse

Don't let me down, don't let me
Don't let me down, don't let me

They say
Never to hold onto fear
I fear it always remains
But sunshine's through the rain

They say
The good will win out
But I'm starting to doubt
If the good will be found

A little older
A little tired
I've never been much
Of a fire starter

Don't let me down
Year of the Horse
Bring me a flame
To light my course
Give me a chance
Give me something more
No one's the same
In the Year of the Horse

Don't let me down, don't let me
Don't let me down, don't let me

Can you carry
My worries on your back?
Like the ones who walked before me
Can you deliver me again?
Can you deliver me again?

Don't let me down
Year of the Horse
Bring me a flame
To light my course
Give me a chance
Give me something more
I'm not the same
In the Year of the Horse

Don't let me down, don't let me
Don't let me down, don't let me
