The Rise Before the Fall

Rising up is how he finally found rock bottom
Most people's basement was his ceiling not their floor
Temptation draws a man into the darkness of his soul
While his past plays like a record, his hope lies at the core

He found the inspiration that he needed
With her love he knew he'd finally found the call
That answered all the questions, that kept playing on his mind
He knew he'd have to finally make, the rise before the fall

How did Heaven find him in this hell he wondered
And how's an angel make him fly without some wings
The demons he once carried, built the walls around his heart
They've all been razed, and he's amazed, cause now his slate is clean

He found the inspiration that he needed
With her love he knew he'd finally found the call
Like a house of cards still crumbles in its silence
He knew he'd have to finally make, the rise before the fall

Feelings unlike a bottle can't be placed back on a shelf
And soon his faith and happiness had been restored
Like a mountain rises from the deepest ocean
Where love once was a ceiling the sky is now the floor

And he found the inspiration that he needed
And he can thank the fall for rising from his depths
Love proves to span the great divide, that's found between two hearts
Building bridges that will never burn, that only love can manifest

Building bridges that will never burn that only love can manifest....
