Out of The Fire (of this terrible recession)

Out of The Fire

Words and Music by Neil Gillespie

I made my way up through the warehouse,

And I got to here with a lot of hard work

I built this business with these hands, the sweat of my brow

So please forgive me when I wonder what to do now.

With a sudden flash, the party was over

The fire roared in and took all my gains

And I don’t know how I’m gonna get it all back again

And my people are looking at me all in pain.

I made my way out of the fire

But Lord, above where do I go now?

To get back to where I was

Just a couple of years ago,

I will go where I need to go,

But can anyone lead?

Found my way out of the fire,

Now can anyone lead?

Why don’t they want what we have to offer anymore?

When will the customers come back?

It feels so helpless, and in his time each man is Cain

Nothing I used to do to seems to work again.

So I’ll make my way back to the warehouse

I’ll automate with a lot of hard work

I’ll build this business back so we won’t go through this again,

Cause this time I’m gonna do more than ever before…

I made my way out of the fire

And now it’s clear what I’ve gotta do,

I gotta do more than just

The things that we used to do,

Gotta do new things for new people,

And I gotta lead

Learn to do new things for new people,

And I gotta lead

Learn to do new things

For new people….

And I gotta lead.
