Clay Aiken - Ashes Lyrics

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 believed the end of burning
Was a dream deep in me
When everything went up in flames

I still walked away

[Chorus]
Turn around and see what love's done for me
You would not believe 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

[Chorus]

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 believe 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
