Rise Above is presented in 3 major sections without break.  The opening section is introspective, looking at yourself and your situation.  The second movement is an acknowledgement of the cruelty and hardship of the world around us.  The final movement represents the hopes for a better world for our children.

The tag ending is optional, depending on how you want to end the show.  The tag represents a show of solidarity, love, and courage.  The show length without the tag is approx 5:00.
