Bronze (Johnson)/When I Rise Up

​
WHEN I RISE UP
When I rise above the earth,And look down on the things that fetter me,I beat my wings upon the air,Or tranquil lie,Surge after surge of potent strengthLike incense comes to meWhen I rise up above the earthAnd look down upon the things that fetter me.
