Rising is a love song and mantra with devotional, ecstatic and pragmatic moments. Featuring extended instrumentation (voice and woodwind trio), it showcases textures associated with sublime infatuation that otherwise lie silent and implied.

Lyrics
Rising is an indelible melody.
She’s a true goddess
of poise, of kindness,
of supernatural energy.I need to tell you that
Rising is an indelible melody.
She’s a true goddess
of poise, of kindness,
of supernatural energy.Leading with vitality.
An infinite kaleidescope.
Confident in mission,
giving brilliant, demure direction with a nod.But don’t forget: she’s dangerous!
A night to remember,
high as a kite and getting higher.
We ride the Hillbilly Spaceship
with her Dirty Jesus.Grabbing his loins
in lieu of hers,
I check myself of even this teasing
As it causes a fighting dynamic.Yet, I try to impress, with success, via lexicon.
Then, talk of my chops:
“How strong are your lips? You must have strong lips?”Well, there’s a degree to which that answer
veers toward the inappropriate.
Again: “How strong are your lips? You must have strong lips?”Rising is an indelible melody.
She’s a true goddess
of poise, of kindness.Rising, Rising.
