“Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day…”

Lyrics
Context: I know I've dreamed you, a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living, after we die
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day…
Robert Maynard Hutchins (1899–1977) philosopher and university president
