real

This one comes straight from the heart of the Berkshires, where a small ranch keeps doing big work. Wild Heart and I wrote it after hearing how Berkshire HorseWorks has been fighting through harsh weather, rising costs, and a thinning hay supply while still caring for therapy horses who change lives every day. Every name in this song belongs to a real healer on four legs, standing steady for veterans, kids, and anyone who walks in carrying grief. We wanted to shine a little light their way, remind folks what they mean to the community, and maybe help them feel the warmth they’ve been giving others for years. If this song moves you, pass that feeling along however you can. Hope has a way of circling back.

A new Wild Heart tune is out now. It’s a tribute to Berkshire HorseWorks, a ranch in the Berkshires where therapy horses are helping folks heal through some tough times. Give it a listen and share some love their way. #adamrsweet #WildHeart #BerkshireHorseworks


(Verse 1)
Up in the Berkshires where the cold winds blow,
There's a little ranch helpin' hearts to grow.
Storms rolled in and the fields went dry,
But the spirit of the herd still touches every life.
Zephyr and Spirit, Gunnar and the rest,
Standin' in the paddocks doin' what they do best-
Healing broken souls with a gentle gaze,
Even when the sky won't give ‘em better days.

(Chorus)
Berkshire HorseWorks, hold on tight,
You've been shinin' hope through the darkest nights.
When the pasture's gone and the storms roll high,
Love still runs like a river through your countryside.
For every child and every burdened heart,
Your horses pull the weight and do their healing part…
Berkshire HorseWorks, you're a lifeline in the rain.

(Verse 2)
There's William and 007, Elektra and Bolt,
Rodeo and Nellie with a steady little stroll.
Wildflower's watchin', soft and kind,
Teachin' folks to breathe, leave their fears behind.
And little Star needs insulin just to stay strong,
But he still stands proud, keeps movin' on-
A rescued soul with a golden will,
Helpin' every hurting heart learn how to heal.

(Chorus)
Berkshire HorseWorks, hold on tight,
You've been shinin' hope through the darkest nights.
When the pasture's gone and the storms roll high,
Love still runs like a river through your countryside.
For every veteran and every frightened kid,
Those horses lift ‘em up like they always did…
Berkshire HorseWorks, you're a lifeline in the rain.

(Bridge)
Hay's run thin and the winter bites,
But a town with a heart can bring back the light.
Every dollar's a blanket, every gift keeps ‘em fed,
Every act of kindness turns the tide ahead.
And a generous soul's matchin' every hand,
Tryin' to keep hope steady on the land.

(Verse 3 - optional softer breakdown)
So here's to the ranch where the lost come home,
Where the weary find peace and they're not alone.
For the healers with hooves who carry our pain,
Let's lift ‘em up till the green comes again.

(Final Chorus)
Berkshire HorseWorks, we'll stand by you,
Till the storms pass on and the fields break through.
For the love you give, for the lives you save,
We'll keep that fire burnin' through the hardest days.
With Wild Heart singin' loud and true-
Berkshire HorseWorks, we believe in you.

(Tag)
Yeah, Berkshire HorseWorks…
Where the healing runs free,
And the horses set you free again.
