Gift of Life Overture
Compose a dynamic rock anthem featuring electric guitars, powerful drums, and symphonic strings. Capture the story of a boy blessed with the gift of life, trapped by a sinister king's decree. Use an electric guitar solo to symbolize hope breaking through the darkness, and layer in choral vocals to evoke the longing and sacrifice of a princess awaiting true love's kiss.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Born on a winter morning in a town that don't forgive
Mama held me to the light, said "Boy, you're gonna live"
But the old man in his palace heard the church bells ring
Put a price upon the innocent, the fury of a king
[Verse 2]
Grew up running through the back streets, hiding who I am
Every face could be a soldier working for his plan
Papa taught me how to fight before he taught me how to pray
Said "Son, they want to break you, don't you let 'em take your faith"
[Chorus]
And I'm rising up, rising up from the dust
When the walls come down, I'll be standing here
Got a fire burning, burning in my blood
I was made for more than living here in fear
Rising up, yeah I'm rising up
[Verse 3]
There's a girl down by the river with rebellion in her eyes
Says "We could leave tonight, baby, leave these chains behind"
But I see the others like me, trapped beneath his throne
If I run I'm just a coward, I can't leave them here alone
[Chorus]
So I'm rising up, rising up from the dust
When the walls come down, I'll be standing here
Got a fire burning, burning in my blood
I was made for more than living here in fear
Rising up, yeah I'm rising up
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Every decree he's written
Every lie he's told
Can't kill what's living in me
Can't take my soul
[Final Chorus]
We're rising up, rising up from the dust
When the walls come down, we'll be standing here
Got a fire burning, burning in our blood
We were made for more than living here in fear
Rising up, yeah we're rising up
Rising up, we're rising up
[Outro]
Born blessed with the gift of life
And I ain't giving in tonight
