The prompt for this was "leading a horse to water and wanting to drown it"

lyrics

Verse 1:
There's an age old saying that I’ve heard for years that we all know
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it go
Perhaps the horse is just a little scared to take a sip
Afraid of the of all the unknowns and just won’t take the risk

Chorus:
Don't force the horse, don't make it drown
Some-times we need to take some time to come around
Patience and love, that's what we’re gonna need
To help the horse find the nerve to drink

Verse 2:
We all have our fears and doubts
But we can’t let them keep us down
We need to find our own way
And trust that we will be okay

Chorus:
Don't force the horse, don't make it drown
Sometimes we need to take some time to come around
Patience and love, that's what we’re gonna need
To help the horse find the nerve to drink

Bridge:
There’s no way we can balance everything in life
But we can choose to do what's right
Find it in ourselves to be kind to those we meet
And help them find the courage to believe
To take a leap and take a chance
And find the strength to dance.
Let's all try lift each other up
And find someone to trust

Chorus:
Don't force the horse, don't make it drown
Sometimes we need to take some time to come around
Patience and love, that's what we’re gonna need
To help the horse find the nerve to drink

Jared Mancuso’s signature slicked back pompadour and perfectly tailored suits evoke a Don Draper meets James Dean vibe and, when juxtaposed with soaring choruses, infectiously intricate guitar riffs, and thought provoking lyrics, manages to build a sexy sonic tension that packs a punch both live and on the record. ... more
