The ashes settle where my old life used to stand Every lie I told myself now dust upon my hands I walk the ruins of the man I used to be The silence louder than the fire ever screamed at me The sky is black but something faint begins to stir A single spark that whispers what I never dared to hear The weight I carried finally starts to crack and fall And in the quiet I can almost hear the morning call The night still clings but it begins to thin Still burning still burning in my chest The old me dying in the dark I knew the best Yet somewhere deep a fragile light begins to rise Still burning still burning in my chest The horizon cracks and gold begins to spill Every wound I thought would kill me starts to heal I see the world the way it always meant to be Not through the fear but through the eyes that now are free The self I buried in the dark is rising slow The precious truth I never dared to let me know I am enough exactly as I stand today The night is over and the dawn has come to stay The fire that consumed me finally set me free Every chain I carried now is only memory I stand here naked in the light and feel no shame The self I fought so hard to hide now calls my name The world is brighter than I ever dared to dream Every breath I take is part of one great stream I am the light I am the dark I am the whole And in this moment I am finally coming home Embers to dawn the fire set me free Embers to dawn the light is calling me I am walking where the new day sings Embers to dawn embers to dawn I breathe
