Rise Above
Rise Above: Embrace Individuality, Illuminate the Soul
Lyrics
Looking up for answers, bright with feeling
Seeking solutions with optimism and strong emotions.
Never turning to the face in front of us
Avoiding facing the immediate challenges or realities.
See some eyes and ask them for their story
Observing others and wanting to learn from their experiences.
Be the answer to your own designs
Empowering oneself to create their own solutions.
Fall away from common names, and search within
Rejecting conventional identities and seeking inner truth.
Release the models caught within our mental haze
Freeing oneself from preconceived notions or stereotypes.
Taught to judge and stare because of hidden schemes
Being taught to judge due to hidden motives or agendas.
Rise above the secret cause and know my name
Transcending hidden motives and asserting individual identity.
Comfort in the same
Finding comfort in familiarity or sameness.
Staking our own claim
Asserting ownership or entitlement to one's beliefs or ideas.
Bitter, climbing mountains we make
Struggling with resentful challenges or obstacles.
And falling off ladders, pushed over by winds we create
Facing setbacks caused by one's own actions or decisions.
See within the constitution of ourselves
Understanding the core principles that define oneself.
Turn the lanterns on and flood the soul
Enlightening the inner self and embracing self-discovery.
Ignite the beacon, send the word that we are one
Spreading unity and solidarity among individuals.
Accept no contradiction but what is kind
Accepting only those contradictions that promote kindness.
Comfort in the same
Finding solace in familiarity or similarity.
Staking our own claim
Asserting ownership or entitlement to one's beliefs or ideas (repeated line).
Bitter, climbing mountains we make
Struggling with resentful challenges or obstacles (repeated line).
And falling off ladders, pushed over by winds we create
Facing setbacks caused by one's own actions or decisions (repeated line).
Looking up for answers, bright with feeling
Seeking solutions with optimism and strong emotions (repeated line).
Never turning to the face in front of us
Avoiding facing the immediate challenges or realities (repeated line).
