Soaring Against Gravity

{fragile piano melody, soft ambient pad swelling,

76 BPM,

key of D minor} (mmmmm) {distant kick

drum enters

gently} Staring at the mountain in the morning haze

Counting all the hours,

lost inside the maze

My hands are cold and heavy,

my spirit running low

I want to find the fire,

but there's nowhere left to go {hollow acoustic guitar fingerpicking joins piano}

But a spark doesn't ask for a flood

It just waits in the dark and the blood

{low sub bass swells,

drum beat gets steady} I am reaching for the light I cannot

see

Begging for the strength to set me free

Even if I fall,

even if I break

I will take the step that I must make (oh,

I will rise) {soaring electric guitar,

driving cinematic drums} Every silent promise that I made myself

Gathering the dust upon a lonely shelf

Now I wipe it clean,

looking at the road

Laying down the weight of this heavy load {grooving drums

with full bass guitar} I am reaching for the light I cannot

see

Begging for the strength to set me free

Even if I fall,

even if I break

I will take the step that I must make (I will

stand) {full orchestral strings join electric

guitar}

Just one step... (ahhhh) Just one breath...

{drums fade, piano

plays final slow chords,

ambient reverb tail resolves

to D major}
