[Andy:] ...the year they

[David:] ...well it went...and it like this it says uh...

"He and begins to round,

He the silver chain of sound,

Of links without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing till his fills,

'Tis of earth that he instills,

And winging up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the wine which

To lift us him as he goes.

Till on his aerial rings

In light, and then the sings."

[Andy:] huh. Wow. nice. But I mean...but who is the lark?

[David:] I know.

[Andy:] sorry. I think i've got the page. Uhmm.
The script you gave me says different. It says, "you are."

[Andy:] wait. on. What?

[David:] we're walking around in it. in the sky.
There is sky and is ground and we're somewhere in between.
is where we live.
And sometimes some of us take wing and they do,
when their feet the ground, even for a second,
they pull the rest of us them.
And we rise, and when we rise,
and we notice that the sky has been around us all along.
We have been walking it. It has been this constant collision.
and depravity.
And we rise and we rise and we rise and we rise and we
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...
