Waiting for the resurrection
Fire from the ashes and the tears
The resurrection
You know dreams die hard, dreams die hard around here
... Surely the heart and the soul prevails
Like the wildflowers grow between the rails in the summer
oh the resurrection

- "The Resurrection"

NGDB revisited "The Resurrection" when they started recording 'Speed of Life,' and with the help of producers George Massenburg and Jon Randall Stewart plus guest vocals from Berg, the song flourished. The "great tune about a small town trying to come back" (as Hanna describes its narrative) resonates loudly as an allegory about the nation's biggest cities and the entire country's irrepressible spirit.

"The Resurrection" "has a definite thing to say," elucidates NGDB's John McEuen. "Somehow it alludes to America, where we've come from, where we've been...a song that needs to be done."
