From the Into the Wild soundtrack, Vedder's quick mandolin lays the foundation for a terrific vocal line that jumps an octave just as he sings "rise up". But it's best not to overthink it and let the inspiring lyrics do their thing. So you've blown alot of chances and had alot of bad luck. Vedder argues (correctly) that another opportunity is always just around the corner. One of my favorite songs of the decade ...
Such is the way of the world
You can never know
Just where to put all your faith
And how will it grow
Gonna rise up
Burning black holes in dark memories
Gonna rise up
Turning mistakes into gold
Such is the passage of time
Too fast to fold
Suddenly swallowed by signs
Low and behold
Gonna rise up
Find my direction magnetically
Gonna rise up
Throw down my ace in the hole

This is a really good album. Love this song. My girls love "Society" and "Hard Sun" quite a bit as well.
