we crowd the rail, a moment all too brief
a deep bay flash jets past the Golden Gate
to fill our minds and hearts with Shared Belief
his hooves sketch his victorious motif
at every racetrack in the Golden State
we crowd the rail, a moment all too brief
and every outing adds onto the sheaf
of paeans to his speed and power innate
to fill our minds and hearts with Shared Belief
and greatness keeps us searching overleaf
two years of common hope more would await
we crowd the rail, a moment all too brief
best earthly care not always brings relief
but eyes and hands deprived, it’s still our fate
to fill our minds and hearts with Shared Belief
let awe for his time here allay our grief
next summer by the surf, we congregate
we crowd the rail, a moment all too brief
to fill our minds and hearts with Shared Belief
