Esperanza Spalding - Readying To Rise (Legs) lyrics
[Esperanza Spalding - Readying To Rise Legs lyrics]
What comes when you rise from the middle
Then step up and ride the comet
What comes when you rise from the middle
Then step up and ride the comet
You've figured out so much up there
On your own now let us step in
The bottom half that moves
You round the world
The legs and orbit of your dream are vast
You spot it then just watch it pass
Psst, psst, down here
We remember everything you’ve come through
And we're readying to rise you
There's a new modality of
Love to be dis-covered
What are you waiting for?
We’re dangled or crossed
Beneath you like we're worthless
While you work away
We're bent or locked still
Listening to tapping digit's
We too must uphold, so holy
And what's great about them?
Everything they've ever carried
They've put down and left somewhere
At best to maybe someday be re-found
We work the largest muscle groups
And come up against sit bones
What makes you so tired?
When we're readying to rise?
Worrying and forgetting where you were headed
Even with your thoughts distracted
We'll get there walking
We know you and why you never
See us or get to know us
And on airplanes we have no space
Because it is presumed we have no insights
Or senses that contribute to our goals
Our language is the memory
Of everywhere you’ve been
In usefulness we preach
And you may refer to us
Whenever you are lost, or stuck
Or doubting will with it's
Brain based complexities
We’ve been through it all with you
And do our best to move you
With dual reminders of your progress
And how you must walk the distance ahead
What you are facing now may appear to be more
Of the same but we are readying to rise you
To another plane of existence
That comes when you rise from the middle
Then step up and ride the comet
That comes when you rise from the middle
Then step up and ride the comet
Then step up and ride the comet
What comes when you rise from the middle
Then step up and ride the comet
You've figured out so much up there
On your own now let us step in
The bottom half that moves
You round the world
The legs and orbit of your dream are vast
You spot it then just watch it pass
Psst, psst, down here
We remember everything you’ve come through
And we're readying to rise you
There's a new modality of
Love to be dis-covered
What are you waiting for?
We’re dangled or crossed
Beneath you like we're worthless
While you work away
We're bent or locked still
Listening to tapping digit's
We too must uphold, so holy
And what's great about them?
Everything they've ever carried
They've put down and left somewhere
At best to maybe someday be re-found
We work the largest muscle groups
And come up against sit bones
What makes you so tired?
When we're readying to rise?
Worrying and forgetting where you were headed
Even with your thoughts distracted
We'll get there walking
We know you and why you never
See us or get to know us
And on airplanes we have no space
Because it is presumed we have no insights
Or senses that contribute to our goals

Of the same but we are readying to rise you
To another plane of existence
That comes when you rise from the middle
Then step up and ride the comet
That comes when you rise from the middle
Then step up and ride the comet
