[Verse 1] Start with a whisper, a flicker, a flame Carried through silence, through struggle, through pain Light in my chest, though the sky feels so wide I hold the ember, I won’t let it die [Pre-Chorus] Step after step through the smoke and the fear Burning so slow, but the path is still clear [Chorus] Ashes to ashes, dust to dust The fire I carried will outlive us The stars will remember my name Oh-o-o-o-oh All of this burning won’t be in vain And I hear it echo-oh-wing I hear it echoing [Verse 2] See how the wildfire can bloom from a spark Kindled in daylight, still fierce in the dark Voices will gather and lift up the flame Each one igniting the next in my name [Pre-Chorus] Step after step through the ash and the rain Kindling hope in the heart of the pain [Chorus] Ashes to ashes, dust to dust The fire I carried will outlive us The stars will remember my name Oh-o-o-o-oh All of this burning won’t be in vain And I hear it echo-oh-wing I hear it echoing [Bridge] Look to the sky — see how we’re small Still every fire answers the call Bright till the end, then fading away But ready to burn again someday [Final Chorus] Ashes to ashes, dust to dust The fire I carried will outlive us The stars will remember my name Oh-o-o-o-oh All of this burning won’t be in vain And I hear it echo-oh-wing I hear it echoing… (Soft fading) Ashes to ashes… dust to dust… The stars will remember… my name…
