Fall & Rise (Up From The Ashes)

From SP1: “Those Who Roar Last” (The Prequel)

(Music: M. Gambino, P. Pineyro, J. D’Aqui / Lyrics: M. Gambino)

***Song opens with bass/drum descent, and ends with bass/drum ascent


Can’t believe the way it went

The time and energy I spent

I just never dared to think

I could ever lose my way

Thinkin’ that the chance had gone

For love ever to return     

Now’s the time for clear rewind

Of the echoes in my mind

You’ve lifted me…  Up from the ashes!


Couldn’t happen fast enough

Waiting game was getting rough

I guess events had run their course

But was I asking for too much? 

Wanting hard to believe 

A better fate awaited me

Don’t know what I would have done

If you never came along.

You’ve lifted me…  Up from the ashes!


Shining like a ray of light

I still cannot believe the way

A stroke of luck looked me up

Found me on the day we met

I could never say enough

About the way you changed my life

You would teach me how to learn

To finally feel like I deserved,  

Something other than being down,  

You lifted me…  You lifted me…  You lifted me…  Up from the ashes!
