Into the Light
One day,
far above America I was gliding
in my ecstasy I flew too high
and I burnt my wings
down,
down,
down, to the earthen ground I crashed
with a heavy sigh,
in the depth’s of despair and confusion
of a drunken drug filled rage of my darkest hour
whereupon I wailed and bemoaned my fate
I raised my fist to heaven
letting forth a mournful cry.
There, there from a blackened sky
came this beam of light
into the light I stand with my outstretched hands.
Listen!
Hear my voice ring from every American Mountain Peak!
For now I possess this light
it is for you that I will let it shine.
If in your first attempt you fail.
Try,
Try,
And try again like I
in your attempt to touch the sky.
