The Fly
=======
Adapted from "The Fly" by William Blake

Little fly,
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.

Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?

Little fly,
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.

For I dance
And drink and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.

Then am I?

If thought is life
And strength and breath,
And the want
Of thought is death,

Then am I?

Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.

For I dance
And drink and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
(twice)

[Rapping]

If thought is life
And strength and breath,
And the want
Of thought is death,

Then am I?

Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.

[Rapping]

Little fly,
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.

Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?

Little fly,
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.
