acoustic guitar rock by singer and songwriter ben bruce

honest songs, honestly sung
This hand-drawn image is inspired by Letter to a Young Poet, written by William Carlos Williams, in which he describes how all our efforts as writers and as men must be to release the enchained dragon within us.

<a href="http://benbruce.bandcamp.com/track/rise">Rise by Ben Bruce</a>

And if I go down… I may go down but my fist is raised…
And if I go down… I may go down but my fist is raised…
And if I think about it, I wonder why I ever played their game…

And if we go down… We may go down but our flag is raised…
And if we go down… We may go down but our flag is raised…
And if we think about it, we’ll wonder why we ever stayed…

Sometimes, you’ve got to jump, and pray for wings
While others, who can’t abide such things
Remain behind, and watching as you rise,
Will wonder, how you learned to fly…
Will wonder, how you learned to fly…
