In his 'Advice to the Young Poet,' William Carlos Williams says, 'All our efforts as writers and as men must be to release the enchained dragon within us.' I have found this inspiring throughout the course of my life. I nod to the saying in my song, 'Poised to Soar' -- you can find lyrics and more on http://www.benbruce.com, the official site for acoustic rock by singer and songwriter Ben Bruce.

Lament

(Posted to Songs by Ben Dec 19, 09:24 AM)

… Can’t you hear the horn? Calling to the sky?
We’re trying hard not to let that die…
We never will ‘cause we’re stronger every day …

I don’t understand
What happened, man?
I wonder how we survived…

‘Cause when you left
We were on our own
We tried to find ourselves a home…

We never found one
and we’re roaming still today
I wonder how we got this way…

And Mother whispered
in a thousand ways…
and dragged you back
in a thousand ways…
That was the moment
when everything shined…
Until you left the Garden behind…

Where have you gone?
Joined Uncle Tom
I wonder when we’ll break away…

Can’t you hear the horn?
Calling to the sky?
We’re trying hard not to let that die…

We never will
‘cause we’re stronger every day
I wish you got it your way…
