...and it...

[Andy:] ...the they died?

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

"He and begins to round,

He drops the chain of sound,

Of many links a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing till his fills,

'Tis of earth that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the wine overflows

To lift us him as he goes.

Till lost on his rings

In light, and then the sings."

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

I don't know.

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

[David:] did you ever notice that the sky is all the way to the

wait. Hold on. What?

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