A spiritual anthem addressing humanity's ability to rise above personal struggles and societal limitations.

lyrics

ASCENSION

There's a little girl kneeling in the evening light
praying to her father in the sky
what do I have to do to raise above this dirt
why do we have to die

And the wind moves the curtains
And it's been such a dry July

When will we rise above our nation
When will we float up to the stars
When will we dance with the angels
start seeing with our hearts

Ascension

Why do I cover my heart when I sleep
Why can't I find any lasting peace
Starry nights and dewy grass
barefoot dreams that didn't last
Still waiting for my savior to come

Still the moon shines through my window
tells me after night I'll find the sun

When will I rise above this nation
When will I float up to the stars
When will I dance with the angels
start seeing with my hearts

Ascension

Rise above the noise and din
we are more than our suffering
Made of flesh and born to roam
But like the wild dove we’ll find our home

When will we rise above our nations
When will we float up to the stars
When will we dance with the angels
start seeing with our hearts

Ascension
