Rise Above is about overcoming the things that divide us and seeing our true, unbounded connection with each other. It is easier to connect today than ever before, yet our relationships continue to become increasingly more polarized. Rise Above suggests that we re-learn how to retain our true humanity in a world that would have us fighting bloody battles over narrative and rhetoric.
lyrics
Looking up for answers, bright with feeling
Never turning to the face in front of us
See some eyes and ask them for their story
Be the answer to your own designs
Fall away from common names, and search within
Release the models caught within our mental haze
Taught to judge and stare because of hidden schemes
Rise above the secret cause and know my name
Comfort in the same
Staking our own claim
Bitter, climbing mountains we make
And falling off ladders, pushed over by winds we create
See within the constitution of ourselves
Turn the lanterns on and flood the soul
Ignite the beacon, send the word that we are one
Accept no contradiction but what is kind
Comfort in the same
Staking our own claim
Bitter, climbing mountains we make
And falling off ladders, pushed over by winds we create
Looking up for answers, bright with feeling
Never turning to the face in front of us
