You just need two animators. One that you do= n't animate, one that you
do, then some position keyframes.

Here's how. Type your lines in the proper order. Line one, line two, line three. Add a text animator for line spacing. Set the line spacing
to a negative number to reverse the order of the lines with the
leading you want for final. You don't animate this.

Now duplicate the Text animator so you have Animator 2. Delete Line
spacing and add opacity. Now animate the range selector to reveal your
text in the normal way.

If you really want to get fancy here use the word-processing preset
and you'll get a blinking cursor. You just need to add an extra
character to the last line of your copy to make that work.

Now that you've got your lines animating from bottom line to top line simply animate the position of the text layer using hold keyframes or
pairs of keyframes timed to the pauses in Animator 2. =A0This is the
normal text layer position property, not a text animator position.

There you go. I've done this about a dozen times.
