"Rise" -Eddie Vedder



Such is the way of the world
You can never know
Just where to put all your faith
And how will it grow

Gonna rise up
Burning back holes in dark memories
Gonna rise up
Turning mistakes into gold

Such is the passage of time
Too fast to fold
And suddenly swallowed by signs
Low and behold

Gonna rise up
Find my direction magnetically
Gonna rise up
Throw down my ace in the hole

    Hi Alisha-

    Great video!

    And ya, "Rise", "Rise Up"...........amazing how many times we all do that - speaks to the strength of our spirit and depth of our love - sometimes we rise from the depths of hell barely able to reach up, other times it is a stumble and we quickly stand and balance- sometimes "Rise" or "Rise Up" means different things - a stand against injustice, a voice risen to join other voices and together they rise up, rising up in 'silent-witness', (harder than I ever imagined),
    To defend, to preserve, to honor, to defy, to celebrate, all require a "Rise"..
    amazing post Alisha that really provokes thoughts.

    Love Gail
    peace.....
