Higher
This song by singer/songwriter David Phelps makes a great rock opener--juxtaposing a minor key with a positive message and driving beat. The lyrics are about rising to the highest level of achievement, and the arrangement features an alto soloist, a bass solo in the bridge, and powerful, energetic brass lines.
Instrumentation: Piano/Bass/Guitar/Drums/Percussion/Synth/3 Tpts/3 Tbn/Alto, Tenor & Bari Sax

Many things you just don't know about me I don't quit that easy So don't stand there with your jaw down in surprise I'm a dreamer You don't see right through me You just thought you knew me So hang on and you just might enjoy the ride Right now I'm down That much is very clear But just wait and see I'm going up from here I'm going higher I'm a flyer I'm gonna keep flying higher Rumor has it that I'm done completely But it won't defeat me 'Cause I believe there's power in the dream You say this faith won't take me very far One day you'll stop and gaze at my shining star I'm going higher I'm a flyer I'm gonna keep flying higher Rising, rising off the ground Nothing, nothing can pull me down Higher, higher I'm gonna be free, free Rising, rising off the ground Nothing, nothing can pull me down Higher, higher I'm gonna be free, free I'm going higher I'm a flyer I'm gonna keep flying higher, higher, higher I'm going higher, going higher. (David Phelps)
