Artist: Alter Bridge
Album: Blackbird
Alter Bridge is an American rock band from Florida.
Rise Today is the first single from Alter Bridge's second studio album, Blackbird, released in October of 2007. I think the song Rise Today is about looking at the world and questioning all the bad shit that's happening. And saying that you want to change it. Questioning if your enemy is really your enemy, or if things were misunderstood. I think it's also about seeing how messed up humanity is, and asking if we'll ever change, and saying that we need to change. I love the lyric "Seems to me that we've got each other wrong/Was the enemy just your brother all along?" Lead vocalist Myles Kennedy's voice is really good, and very distinctive. The reason I got into Alter Bridge was because I heard Myles Kennedy sing the song Back From Cali on Slash's self titled solo album. I liked his voice and decided to check out Myles' own band. This is a really good song.
"Rise Today"
The wind is blowing cold
Have we lost our way tonight?
Have we lost our hope to sorrow?
Feels like we're all alone
Running further from what's right
And there are no more heroes to follow
So what are we becoming?
Where did we go wrong?
[Chorus:]
Yeah, oh yeah
I want to rise today
And change this world
Yeah, oh yeah
Oh, won't you rise today
And change this world?
The sun is beating down
Are we ever gonna change
Can we stop the blood from running?
Our time is running out
Hope we find a better way
Before we find we're left with nothing
For every life that's taken
So much love is wasted
[Chorus:]
Yeah, oh yeah
I want to rise today
And change this world
Yeah, oh yeah
So won't you rise today
And change
This world
Only love can set it right
This world
If only peace would never die
Seems to me that we've got each other wrong
Was the enemy just your brother all along?
[Chorus:]
Yeah, oh yeah
I want to rise today
And change this world
Yeah, oh yeah
Oh won't you rise today
And change this world?
Yeah, oh yeah
I want to rise today
And change this world
Yeah, oh yeah
I want to rise today
And change this world
