lyrics

One hoof and then the other
I followed through the mist
up mountain sides, through rivers deep
too afraid to speak, my history, my memory,
they are mine to keep

I wandered alone
where can I be home?
I wandered alone
where can i be free?
can someone like me be free?

One heel and then the other
tripping down the stairs
out the door, you watched me run
now you'll never know, my mystery, my memory
You will never know

I wandered alone
I wandered alone
where can I be home?
I wandered alone
where can i be free?
can someone like me be free?

They wanted my magic
They hunted my family
because of my horn, they wanted me dead
It was not safe, and so i fled
Im a unicorn!
am i the only
unicorn?

They hated my beauty
They feared my attractions
because im not a man, and im not a woman
they wanted me dead and so i fled
from a small town
to the wild forest
i run!
from a small town
to the wild forest
i run!

Following flowers through the forest
My tears dried up
my heart mended
and I met a beautiful spirit
no man or woman, had ever been like that
no man or woman , had ever been like that

oh ill never ill never ill never ill never look back
oh ill never ill never ill never ill never look back

surviving however i could
my pride built up
far from the harassment
and i met a beautiful spirit
no man or woman had ever been like that
no man or woman, had ever been like that

our hair is long
and its flowing in the wind
we whispered first but now we scream
NOBODY CAN SHAME US!
OUR KIND WILL NEVER DIE!
we ride into every sunset
our hearts burn up the sky
we ride into every sunset
our hearts burn up the sky
oh well never well never well never
look back
