The 4 Horses of Wisdom (Kids Version): 🐴 Happy CNY 2026

[Intro] Gong xi, gong xi, happy day, The Horse New Year is here to stay! Clap your hands and sing along, Four happy horses, brave and strong! [Verse 1] The Buddha told a story bright, Of horses learning what is right. One horse sees and understands, It learns so fast, just like that! [Chorus] Run, run, run with care, Kind hearts learning everywhere. Fast or slow, it’s okay, Walk together, day by day! [Verse 2] One horse listens, words are clear, Learning well when friends are near. Hear the truth, think it through, That’s a smart thing horses do! [Chorus] Run, run, run with care, Kind hearts learning everywhere. Fast or slow, it’s okay, Walk together, day by day! [Verse 3] One horse trips and feels some pain, “Ooops!” it tries and learns again. Falls a bit, then stands up tall, Learning still — that’s fine for all! [Instrumental break] [Verse 4] One horse learns the hardest way, So much pain along the way. Still it learns and still it grows, Step by step, the Buddha shows. [Bridge] Don’t compare, don’t feel small, Every horse can learn it all. Be kind, be brave, try your best, That’s the path the Buddha blessed! [Final Chorus] Run, run, run with care, Kind hearts learning everywhere. Fast or slow, it’s okay, Peace and love the Buddha way! [Outro] Gong Xi Fa Cai, joy is here, Happy Horse New Year, my dear! Learn with kindness, laugh and play, Peace and wisdom every day!
