"He and begins to round,

He the silver chain of sound,

Of many links a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing till his fills,

'Tis love of that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the wine which

To lift us him as he goes.

Till lost on his aerial

In light, and then the sings."

did you ever notice that the sky is all the way to the ground?

[Andy:] wait. Hold on.

we're walking around in it. We're in the sky.
There is sky and there is ground and we're in between.
That is we live.
And some of us take wing and when they do,
their feet leave the ground, even for a second,
they pull the of us with them.
And we rise, and when we rise,
and when we notice the sky has been around us all along.
We have been walking into it. It has this constant collision.
and depravity.
And we rise and we rise and we rise and we and we rise
and we and we rise and we rise and we rise and we rise
and we rise and we and we rise and we rise...
