[Verse 1] The house came down in rain Black glass in the yard I held a broken frame Like it could hold the stars Your name on every wall Now fading in the soot I learned the weight of loss When I could not move [Pre-Chorus] But under all that smoke A spark kept breathing on Small as a hidden pulse Too stubborn to be gone [Chorus] Ashes in bloom We rise, we rise From what was ruined We light the sky Ashes in bloom Hold on, hold on The ground is broken But not for long [Verse 2] I swept the floor at dawn Found the ring, found the nail Found my hands still shaking Found my will in the trail One beam, one stone, one chair One calloused prayer at a time I put the shards in rows And called it starting line [Pre-Chorus] The wound stayed in the wood The scars stayed in the skin But every step I took Was proof I could begin [Chorus] Ashes in bloom We rise, we rise From what was ruined We light the sky Ashes in bloom Hold on, hold on The ground is broken But not for long [Bridge] Let it break, let it burn I won't turn to dust I know now what survives Is the part that trusts So sing through the ruin Shake the grief off my name What was lost made room For a stronger flame [Chorus] Ashes in bloom We rise, we rise From what was ruined We light the sky Ashes in bloom Hold on, hold on The ground is broken But not for long Ashes in bloom We rise, we rise And every scar now Points me home
