From The Ashes

[Intro]
Mm… yeah
I been in the dark so long
Didn’t know my eyes could still adjust

[Verse]
I was born in the fire, shaped by regret
Still hold old scars I ain’t shed just yet
We had love in our hands, watched it fall apart
But the break taught me how to guard my heart
I said “I’m fine” when I needed grace
Lost myself tryna save a face
But every low showed me what I’m worth
Sometimes you gotta lose to learn

[Pre-Chorus]
I was talkin’, nobody heard me
Still I kept on usin’ my voice
Every tear turned into purpose
Every fall was a choice

[Chorus]
From the ashes, I rise
Still got smoke in my eyes
I been lost,  broken inside
I’m still alive, yeah I’m alive
From those ashes, I rise... I rise

[Verse 2]
I put the bottle down, faced my pain
Learned how to breathe through the rain
What once owned me, I now outgrew
Turns out I was stronger than I knew
I stopped chasin’ numb, started chasin’ peace
Found myself when I found belief
Now love don’t hurt like it used to do
It feel like truth when it’s something new

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I hear my name when the lights come on
Every step feelin’ less alone
What I built came slow, but it’s strong
I ain’t rushin’
Yeah, I’m home

[Chorus]
From the ashes, I rise
Still got smoke in my eyes
I been lost,  broken inside
I’m still alive, yeah I’m alive
From those ashes, I rise... I rise

[Bridge]
I met the devil in my lowest place
Now he don’t recognize my face
I chose love when I could’ve stayed numb
Chose the long road, now look how far I’ve come
Hands still shake, but my heart feels steady
I ain’t perfect, just finally ready
Every scar remindin’ me why
I survived to live this life

[Final Chorus]
From the ashes, I rise
Still got smoke in my eyes
I been lost,  broken inside
I’m still alive, yeah I’m alive
From those ashes, I rise... I rise

[Outro ]
Now I love like I ain’t afraid
Buildin’ somethin’ that won’t fade
If you hear this on your worst night
Just know—it gets better with time
Mm… yeah
Still alive

Powerful
