The Rose that Grew from Concrete
Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.
William Blake
Here I depart from sounding like a guitar and play as a pianist. The chorus stop swells and fades from one of the MIDI foot pedals under my left foot. I dream of breaking free of the concrete in my life, walking without feet, flying without wings.
