Watercolour Ponies Lyrics

Watercolour Ponies lyrics

Wayne Watson
There are watercolour ponies
On my refrigerator door
And the shape of something I don't really recognize
Brushed with careful
little fingers
And put proudly on display
A reminded to us all of how
time flies
Seems an endless mound of laundry
And a stairway laced
with toys
Gives a blow by blow reminder of the war
That we fight for
their well-being
For their greater understanding
To impart a holy
reverence for the Lord
Chorus
But baby, what will we do
When it
comes back to me and you
They look a little less like little boys every
day
Oh the pleasure of watchin' the children growin'
Is mixed with a
bitter cup
Of knowin' the watercolour ponies
Will one day ride
away
And the vision can get so narrow
As you view thru your tiny
world
And little victories can go by with no applause
But in the
greater evaluation
As they fly from your nest of love
May they mount
up with wings as eagles for His cause
Chorus
