Ashes

Ashes - Clay Aiken

Someone told me

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger sets you free

From all that held you down

With all my heart I beleived the end of burning

Was a dream deep in me

When everything went up in flames

I still walked away

Turn around and see what love's done for me

You would not beleive the way I used to be so cold

Maybe love requires walking through the fire

To set me free so I can rise up from the ashes

I was broken

A million pieces left to whole

I was frozen my heart left out in the cold

Looking back I can't see a voice of reasoning

Can't remind me I was never good enough somehow

Try to remind me now

Turn around and see what love's done for me

You would not beleive the way I used to be so cold

Maybe love requires walking through the fire

To set me free so I can rise up from the ashes

Ended up in flames

Let it light the sky

Now that I'm no pain

One more life

Turn around and see what love's done for me

You would not beleive the way I used to be so cold

Maybe love requires walking through the fire

To set me free

To set me free

To set me free so I can rise up from the ashes

The ashes

To rise up from the ashes
