Ascension

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.
