Arranged by Aaron J. Weaver

[verse1]
A cabby's horse, a beast of toil,
Was touched by magic on Narnian soil.
The great voice echoed, the ground gave birth,
To creatures waking across the earth.
And Strawberry, too, was changed by grace,
With newfound thoughts and a talking face.

[verse2]
No longer subject to whip and rein,
But a new being, born without pain.
He bore young Polly and Digory,
On a quest that would help shape history.
His humble heart, with its honest plea,
"I'm not a very clever horse, you see".

[verse3]
But Aslan saw what he truly was,
And gave him wings without pause or cause.
"Be winged," he roared, "Be the father of all".
As great wings burst forth, and he stood tall.
"Your name is Fledge," the lion said with might,
And Strawberry rose, soaring in flight.

[verse4]
No longer earthbound, heavy with care,
He carried his friends on the high, pure air.
A new life granted, a brand new name,
From tired workhorse to a sky-bound flame.
Fledge, the father of flying horses, free,
A legend of Narnia for all to see.

[chorus]
From the gaslight streets of London,
A horse named Strawberry, weary and worn.
Pulled a hansom cab through rain and gray,
Until a magic ring swept him away.
He stood in the darkness, then heard the sound,
Of Aslan's singing on hallowed ground.
