From The Ashes

My right hand holds matches My left holds my past I hope the wind catches And burns it down fast I'm going to step into the fire With my failures and my shame And wave goodbye to yesterday As I dance among the flames So don't try to save me now Let the walls of my world all burn down Just stand back and wait till the smoke finally passes And I will rise From the ashes From the ashes From the ashes For all that I'm losing much more will I gain The hard part is choosing To change what needs changed My step will be much lighter With these demons off my chest I'm born a better spirit And lay the old to rest So don't try to save me now Let the walls of my world all burn down Just stand back and wait till the smoke finally passes And I will rise From the ashes From the ashes From the ashes And I'll walk away stronger I will be flying Higher and truer Than I've flown before My right hand holds matches My left holds my past I hope the wind catches And burns it down fast
