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 gonna step into the fire
 With my failures and my shame
 And wave goodbye to yesterday
 As I dance among the flames
 
 Don't try to save me now
 Let the walls of my world all burn down
 Just stand back and wait 'til 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
 Don't try to save me now
 Let the walls of my world all burn down
 Just stand back and wait 'til the smoke finally passes
 And I will rise from the ashes
 From the ashes
 From the ashes
 
 I'll walk away stronger
 I will be flyin'
 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
