HORSES DON'T SEE COLORS

Story Behind The Song

My husband is a DJ for a soft music station in Las Vegas. The school system asked him if I could write a song for the kids and perform on career day. I had a black horse named Buster, and as I was riding him one day, I realized that horses don't see colors, and I thought that would be a nice song to write for the kids. When I sang the song, there were children of all origins there. They loved this song. And afterwards it brought up a lot of discussion amongst them. They all felt included. The teacher asked me if I would make copies for the school system in Clark County, Nevada, which I did, and I won an award. Children are smarter than we think in that many of them knew already that horses cannot distinguish colors. It was really cute. This was a school with 7-12 year olds. - I started to perform it for fun when I played at Borders, and people started asking me to sing Buster's song for them, even adults. It was really cute. It also placed in Unisong.

Lyrics

HORSES DON'T SEE COLORS

BUSTER IS THIS HORSE I KNOW
HIS COAT IS SMOOTH AND BLACK
HE'S GOT TWO SOCKS AS WHITE AS SNOW
AND HE'S REAL PROUD OF THAT

HE DANCES AND HE PRANCES
WITH A SADDLE ON HIS BACK
AND HE TOLD ME YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW
THIS SPECIAL LITTLE FACT

AND THAT IS....

CHORUS
HORSES DON'T SEE COLORS
THE SAME WAY PEOPLE DO
THEY JUST LOVE EACH OTHER
RED, BLACK, WHITE OR BLUE

THEY KNOW A HORSE IS STILL A HORSE
SO HE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU
HORSES DON'T SEE COLORS
THE SAME WAY PEOPLE DO

VERSE
WHEN BUSTER RUNS THROUGH THE FIELDS
ALL HIS FRIEND COME 'ROUND
THEY TOSS THIER TAILS AND CLICK THEIR HEELS
THEY MAKE QUITE A SOUND

THERE'S BIG 'OL RED, AND JACK THE GRAY
A WHITE HORSE AND A BROWN
THEY RUN AND JUMP AS THEY PLAY
'CAUSE THEY ARE ALL BIG CLOWNS

CHORUS
HORSES DON'T SEE COLORS
THE SAME WAY PEOPLE DO
THEY JUST LOVE EACH OTHER
RED, BLACK, WHITE OR BLUE

THEY KNOW A HORSE IS STILL A HORSE
SO HE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU
HORSES DON'T SEE COLORS
THE SAME WAY PEOPLE DO

VERSE
BUSTER SAID TO TELL YOU
WHEN YOU'RE MAKING FRIENDS
MAKE THEM IN ALL COLORS
AND YOU'LL BE JUST LIKE THEM

AND THEY HAVE SO MUCH FUN
AND THEY ARE VERY FREE
'CAUSE THEY LOVE EVERY COLOR
THAT'S WHAT BUSTER SAID TO ME

CHORUS
HORSES DON'T SEE COLORS
THE SAME WAY PEOPLE DO
THEY JUST LOVE EACH OTHER
RED, BLACK, WHITE OR BLUE

THEY KNOW A HORSE IS STILL A HORSE
SO HE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU
HORSES DON'T SEE COLORS
THE SAME WAY PEOPLE DO
