Rise Above
Rise Above: Embracing Redemption in Life's Trials
Lyrics
Too much time we let pass by
Reflects on time that has been wasted or overlooked.
Broken dreams and idle lives
Describes shattered aspirations and unproductive lifestyles.
Waiting on the way it ought to be
Expecting things to conform to an idealized version.
Pushing forward, falling back
Continuing despite setbacks and regressions.
Counting scars and losing track
Not keeping track of emotional or physical wounds.
Afraid to crash we never spread our wings
Fear preventing exploration or taking risks.
And with every chance we take we find a reason
Despite risks, there's a tendency to find excuses to give up.
To give up on the hope that we all need
Losing faith in essential hope.
Maybe today we all will rise
Hopeful anticipation that today might be the day for a collective rise above past errors and regrets.
Maybe today we all will rise
-Above the mistakes that we've made
-Sometimes we've got to face the fall
-Before we rise above it all
-Can't give up on second tries
Not abandoning efforts after initial failure.
Leave the pride that blinds our eyes
Overcoming arrogance or self-centeredness.
No one taught us how to say goodbye
Lamenting the absence of guidance on handling farewells.
Now's the time for broken hearts
A time to heal from heartbreak and start anew.
Embrace today a brand new start
Choosing to embrace the present and move forward.
Leave the past and let love lead the way
Letting love guide the journey forward by leaving the past behind.
And with every chance we take we find a reason
Continuing to find reasons to give up despite chances taken.
To give up on the hope that we all need
Reiterating the loss of hope essential for everyone.
Maybe today we all will rise
Repetition of the hope for a collective rise above past mistakes.
Maybe today we all will rise
-Above the mistakes that we've made
-Sometimes we've got to face the fall
-Before we rise above it all
-If we just lived like we mean it
Encouragement to live authentically, love unconditionally, and find purpose in suffering to discover deeper aspects of oneself.
If we loved even when we don't feel it
-We would suffer for a reason
-And see there is more to who we are
-Maybe today we all will rise
Reinforcement of the desire for a collective rise above past failures and the acknowledgment that facing the fall is necessary before overcoming it.
Maybe today we all will rise
-Maybe today we all will rise
-Maybe today we all will rise
-Above the mistakes that we've made
-Sometimes we've got to face the fall
-Before we rise above it all
-Rise above it all
Emphasizes the overarching theme of rising above all obstacles and challenges.
Rise above it all
