Silly Horse Wishes

SILLY HORSE WISHES

Koko, you were sunlight through my stormy days

Saw a better man beneath my broken ways

You would call my phone just to hear me speak

Now the silence in my room feels so loud to me

You gave your heart with both hands open wide

While I kept hiding parts of me inside

You wanted forever, I treated it like time

Now I count the moments that I left behind

You saw a home before I saw the door

You saw tomorrow while I wanted more

Now every lesson echoes through my mind

Like a prayer I didn't hear in time

These are my silly horse wishes

Running through the night again

Wish I knew what your love meant

Wish I could give that time again

Silly horse wishes

Maybe they're foolish dreams

But it's never silly wishing

For the best thing you've ever seen

Koko, if you hear this song somehow

Know I'm finally understanding now

You believed in Christ with a steady flame

Wanted us to grow and walk that way

I was scared of change, scared to start anew

Now I see the strength that was living in you

You wanted presence, not promises alone

Someone to build with, someone called home

You crossed oceans in your heart for me

While I was chasing shadows I couldn't see

And every road I took to lose myself

Was a road away from someone heaven-sent

You saw a man becoming who he could be

Long before that man could even see

Now your memory keeps pulling me

Toward the person I should've been

These are my silly horse wishes

Running through the night again

Wish I held your hand much longer

Wish I listened way back then

Silly horse wishes

Maybe they're foolish dreams

But it's never silly wishing

For the love that changed everything

Koko, if you hear this song somehow

Know I'm finally understanding now

Na bado nakumbuka smile yako

The way you'd say, "Usiogope, twende pole"

Uliniona before I saw myself

You carried hope for the both of us

Nikiwa lost kwa life, kwa streets, kwa pride

Ulikuwa home, lakini sikujua why

Now every prayer starts with your name

And ends with me asking God for change

These are my silly horse wishes

Floating to the stars tonight

Wish I'd chosen love more often

Wish I'd stayed right by your side

Silly horse wishes

Some dreams never leave

And if love is measured by remembrance

Then you'll always live in me

Koko, you're the best thing life ever gave

And every better step I take

Carries a piece of your faith

Maybe it's too late to start that story

Maybe it's not mine to rewrite

But I'll keep making something beautiful

Out of the lessons you left behind

These silly horse wishes... Still ride with me tonight.
