[Verse 1] I kept the letters In a tin by the sink Those burnt-out plans I swore I’d never think The job I lost The door that shut fast I called it failure Then I called it past [Pre-Chorus] But the crack in the cup Lets the river through What broke me open Brought me truth [Chorus] Silver in the ash Silver in the ash You can build again From what you have Silver in the ash Silver in the ash Turn the hurt to gold That’s the craft [Verse 2] I walked through the day With my hands full of shame Every wrong turn Still called my name But I’ve seen hard rain Wash a field to black What looked like the end Was a path back [Pre-Chorus] So I won’t kneel To the old regret I am not done I’m not finished yet [Chorus] Silver in the ash Silver in the ash You can build again From what you have Silver in the ash Silver in the ash Turn the hurt to gold That’s the craft [Bridge] Let the old flame fall Let it loosen its grip I learned from the ruin How to hold a slip Now I wear the scars Like a map in my palm What once was a wound Turns steady and calm [Final Chorus] Silver in the ash Silver in the ash You can build again From what you have Silver in the ash Silver in the ash Turn the hurt to gold That’s the craft Silver in the ash Silver in the ash I let it change me I let it last
