Thanks for stopping by Gavin,while I agree that (transcend) can have many meanings, I think it works well here
as in (overcome) or (rise above)
do you really think that the listeners of a song analyse a lyric in that context, I've listened to thousands of songs over fifty years and never once thought, oh that word is just there to rhyme,
but maybe I'm wrong,

all the best,john.
