Lyrics which include an unrhymed pantoum. Inspired by Dali and a Hindi song. |
Ascension (12/21/12) Grains of sand, we are watching tall elephants carry the dreams of men of consequence, some catching fire, some catching fire. Tall elephants carry the dreams, burdened with heavy chests and heavy hearts, some catching fire, some catching fire, plumes billowing into the skies. Rise, I say rise, I say rise, I say rise. Reaching for Heaven, things lose their size. Reaching for Heaven, things lose their size. Burdened with heavy chests and heavy hearts, the open air comes as a gift, plumes billowing into the skies. We let go and rise. We let go and rise with the updrafts. The open air comes as a gift. Small elephants dwindle below. We let go and rise. We let go and rise with the updrafts from the Heavens' overseers. Rise, I say rise, I say rise, I say rise. Reaching for Heaven, things lose their size. Reaching for Heaven, things lose their size. Small elephants dwindle below, grains of sand. We are watching from the Heavens, overseers of men of consequence, grains of sand. We are watching tall elephants carry the dreams of men of consequence, some catching fire, some catching fire. Rise, I say rise, I say rise, I say rise. Reaching for Heaven, things lose their size. Reaching for Heaven, things lose their size. |
