two more classes to go!!!!
Those of you that know me know that Ben Harper is probably my favorite artist, period. So when I decided to make one of his songs the song of the day, I chose very carefully. This one is "I’ll Rise" and it’s taken from the Live from Mars album. I hope that you like it.
By the way, the lyrics come from a Maya Angelou poem called "Still I Rise."
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Here is a link to the complete poem:
