🎵 The Donkey and the Horse – Song Lyrics 🎵
(Gentle melody – ~85 BPM – kind and thoughtful tone)
Verse 1
A donkey and a horse one day,
Walked a long and dusty way.
The donkey’s bags were stacked so high,
He walked so slow, with heavy sigh.
Grain and pots, and tools and clothes,
Made him wobble as he goes.
Verse 2
He sweated hard, his steps were sore,
Each small move became a chore.
He turned to horse and asked with care,
“Please, dear friend, can you help and share?”
Verse 3
“Just one or two,” the donkey said,
“My back is sore, my legs like lead.”
But the horse, so proud and neat,
Kept walking on with light, quick feet.
Verse 4
“No,” he said, “That’s not for me—
To carry bags is your duty.”
Verse 5
The donkey sighed and walked along,
But he was weak, and not so strong.
After just a few more feet—
He fell down hard, no strength, no beat.
Verse 6
The farmer saw and hurried fast,
He knew the donkey wouldn’t last.
He took the bags off, one by one,
But the work was far from done.
Verse 7
Onto the horse, he placed the load—
Every bag and sack he towed.
Now the horse had all to bear,
What once was small, was now unfair.
Final Verse (Ending)
If he had helped from the start,
He’d have eased the donkey’s heart.
A little kindness goes a long way—
And makes things better every day.
