Rise Above
G. Love And Special Sauce · Other Songs - G. Love And Special Sauce
Should ever fall apart
And fall into darkness
Long long way
If the wide wide world
Should ever fall apart
Well I'll be there long
Make a brand new start
Yes and there would be no judges
No they'd be in the dark
There would be no judges
No judges on this ark
There would be no businessmen
Controlling all the people
There would be no missles
Wars for the people will be for people
There would be no crime
'cause there would be no time
'cause when the wide world falls apart
Everybody wanna walk the line
Walk the line, walk the line
Because I'll be there long
Walk the line
Walk the line
Yes and there would be no lies
No politicians too
There would be no prisons
For the people know what to do
There will be peace
And brother sister love
'cause when the wide world falls apart
Everybody wanna rise above
Rise above
Rise above
Said I'll be there long
Rise above
Rise above
Yeah
Rise above, man
Rise Above

The track remains a cultural touchstone for fans of the era, representing a pivotal moment in the development of alternative rock that prioritized organic instrumentation and emotional depth over polished production.
