I walked barefoot White dress torn by the heat The fire didn't burn me It taught me how to bend I felt the flames I felt the fear I used it all To empower I rise From the ashes they left behind Wings of fire White roses prickling my skin I don’t beg I don’t break I rediscover myself in the flame I rise And I rise Every scar speaks Every burn knows my name I don’t wear white for innocence I wear it to dare the flames Let it burn Let it fall Let it be known From the ashes I rise From the ashes they left behind Wings of fire Embers floating in the sky I rise I was reborn to be.... free I rise From the ashes they left behind White dress Fire burning inside I don’t fade, I don’t fold I turn pain into gold Look at me now I don’t escape I ascend From the ashes I rise
