Ashes to Light by Jessie Burner

Smoke still lingers in the air
Traces of a life I can’t repair
You cut me down, now I’m forced to begin
Rising stronger from where I’ve been

From ashes to light, I’m starting again
You burned it down, now I’m breathing it in
The fire has gone, but I’m not the same
From ashes to light, I rise through the flame

Faded echoes turn to glow
Out of the ruin, a garden grows
Every scar becomes a sign
That I survived and the world is mine

From ashes to light, I’m starting again
You burned it down, now I’m breathing it in
The fire has gone, but I’m not the same
From ashes to light, I rise through the flame

No more chains, no fear to keep
I found my wings in the smoke and heat
Every ending is a spark to ignite
Leading me home, from ashes to light

From ashes to light, I’m starting again
You burned it down, now I’m breathing it in
The fire has gone, but I’m not the same
From ashes to light, I rise through the flame
