[2 Bar Intro] [Verse 1] From the ruins of yesterday I wake and breathe again Smoke in the air, but I lift my eyes There’s still a sky above me.... Every scar leaves a trace Every tear learns to glow Pulling me forward I’m not who I was before... [Pre-Chorus] The fire tried to pull me under Instead it showed me how to rise I’m louder than the quiet now I hear the call, I answer.... [Chorus] From the ashes, I step into light I break the dark, I start to shine The past can circle, it won’t hold me From ashes to light I’m shining again.... ..I'm shining... [Verse 2] I walked with the weight of shadows Dust on my skin, pain in my hands But hope kept speaking through the rain Every storm left something burning... Each step throws off a spark Every breath feels warmer I’m building tomorrow in motion Climbing with steady courage.... [Pre-Chorus] The fire tried to change my shape But it made me whole There’s a heat in my chest now A strength I didn’t know.... [Chorus] From the ashes, I step into light I break the dark, I start to shine The past can circle, it won’t hold me From ashes to light I’m shining again.... [Electric slide guitar solo] [Bridge] [rhythmically spoken/sung] I see the morning calling my name No more chains, nothing to hide The night fades out into stars And I move toward the flame [Mantra like] One step forward Hands open wide I choose the light...... [Final Chorus] From the ashes, I rise into light Breaking the shadow, letting it fall The past may follow, it won’t define me From ashes to light I’m shining again [Outro] From ashes to light… I’m shining again. [musical ending]
