[Intro – Spoken / Male]
From a distance, it looked alive —
Green, endless, paradise.
But pretty can lie, and roots can rot,
Sometimes you need the flame to see what you’ve got.

[Verse 1 – Male]
Our love looked green from a distance, yeah,
Perfect scene in the light of day.
But under the leaves, we were twisted tight,
Old pain growin’ where it blocked the light.
Smilin’ wide, through the highs and lows,
While the underbrush kept sayin’ no.
Didn’t see the smoke till it kissed the air,
Then the fire rolled in — stripped it bare.

[Pre-Chorus – Both]
Now there’s heat in the wind,
And a shift in the tone,
Lost what we had, but we found our own.

[Chorus – Both]
It looked like the end, but it’s just the start,
Ashes fall, but they feed the heart.
Sometimes you gotta lose it all to know,
The fire made us grow.
Now the sunlight’s reachin’ down below,
New life risin’ from what we know.
Yeah, it hurt, but baby, even so—
The fire made us grow.

[Verse 2 – Female]
I watched it burn, thought I’d walk away,
Couldn’t see the good in the smoke that day.
But the ground got soft, and the sky turned wide,
Felt somethin’ new startin’ up inside.
Now the scars still shine in the morning dew,
Showin’ proof of what love’s been through.
It ain’t wild and it ain’t blind —
It’s steady now, redefined.

[Bridge – Both / Call & Response]
Male: Yeah, we lost the canopy, but gained the sky.
Female: Sometimes you gotta let the old dream die.
Male: Every tear was a drop of rain.
Female: Now it’s growin’ green through the pain.

[Final Chorus – Both, lifted and hopeful]
It looked like the end, but it’s just the start,
Ashes fall, but they feed the heart.
Sometimes you gotta lose it all to know,
The fire made us grow.
Now the sunlight’s reachin’ down below,
New life risin’ from what we know.
Yeah, it hurt, but baby, even so—
The fire made us grow.

[Outro – Both, soft & heartfelt]
Male: From the ashes, I see you clearer.
Female: From the embers, love burns nearer.
Both: We burned, we broke, but we didn’t let go—
The fire made us grow.
