Lyrics

Ascension

[Refrain]

What do you do it for?

What are you running for?

What are you running towards?

What are you trying to prove?

What do you got to lose?

What is the path you choose?

[Chorus]

I lost my way

I lost my way

I lost my way

Lost my way again

Lost my way again

[Verse 1]

Then you showed up and I got up

Yeah, sort of

Found my way again

Found my way again

[Chorus]

I'm on my way, I'm on my way

I'm on my way, I'm on my way to heaven

I'm on my way, I'm on my way

I'm on my way if I can make it out of this hell

I know I can and I know I will

I'm on my way, I'm on my way

I'm on my way, I'm on my way to heaven

I'm on my way, I'm on my way

I'm on my way if I can make it out of this hell

I know I can and I know I will

[Refrain: Brandy]

What do you do it for?

What are you running for?

What are you running towards?

What are you trying to prove?

What do you got to lose?

What is the path you choose?

[Verse 2]

I know of a cover girl

From another in the world

Analog, not digital

Invisible and spiritual

One, yeah

Now I got a love

[Chorus]

I'm on my way, I'm on my way

I'm on my way, I'm on my way to heaven

I'm on my way, I'm on my way

I'm on my way if I can make it out of this hell

I know I can and I know I will

I'm on my way, I'm on my way

I'm on my way, I'm on my way to heaven

I'm on my way, I'm on my way

I'm on my way if I can make it out of this hell

I know I can and I know I will

[Outro]

I'm on my way

Way to heaven

I'm on my way

On my way, make it out of this hell

Yeah
