“Ashes Into Gold” [Intro] Yeah… Everybody got ghosts. Everybody got scars. Question is— Do they own you? Or do you rise? ⸻ [Verse 1] I been fighting with shadows since I was young, Heavy heart, cold nights, nowhere to run. Demons in my head saying I ain’t enough, Every dream I touched turned to dust. Smiled in the daylight, broke in the dark, Trying to keep a little fire in my heart. Carried old pain like chains on my soul, But pain don’t decide who becomes whole. I hit rock bottom, face to the floor, Heard my own spirit say “fight one more.” So I stood back up with bloodshot eyes, Turned my wounds into battle cries. ⸻ [Hook] I walked through the fire, came out alive, Built from the wreckage I survived. Every scar became a part of my soul, Turned my ashes into gold. The night tried hard to bury me deep, But warriors don’t rest, warriors don’t sleep. Now I stand where the broken fall— I faced my demons… and outlasted them all. ⸻ [Verse 2] There were days I was drowning in doubt, Couldn’t find a way in, couldn’t find a way out. Voices kept saying “you’ll never win,” So I learned how to silence the war within. Lost friends, lost hope, lost time, Still kept walking through the blackest nights. Every setback sharpened my skin, Every hard lesson carved strength within. See the truth is pain never really leaves, You just grow stronger than what it used to be. Now the fear that once had control Is just another story that I outgrow. ⸻ [Hook] I walked through the fire, came out alive, Built from the wreckage I survived. Every scar became a part of my soul, Turned my ashes into gold. The night tried hard to bury me deep, But warriors don’t rest, warriors don’t sleep. Now I stand where the broken fall— I faced my demons… and outlasted them all. ⸻ [Bridge] No crown. No savior. No easy road home. Just faith in the fight When you feel alone. And every time life tried breaking me down, I found another reason not to drown. ⸻ [Final Hook / Outro] I walked through the fire, now watch me rise, No more fear living behind my eyes. I carry the scars but I carry hope, That’s how the lost learn how to cope. If you’re fighting shadows, don’t let ‘em win, The strongest battles are the wars within. One day you’ll look back through it all— And realize the demons made you strong.
