Clay Aiken Lyrics
"ashes"

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 believe
The end of burnin'
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 believe
The way I used to be
So cold
Maybe love requires
Walkin' through the fire
To set me free
So I can rise up from the ashes

I was broken
A million pieces left to hold
I was frozen
My heart left out in the cold
Looking back I can see
How the voice of reason
Kept reminding me
I was never good enough
Somehow
Try and remind me now

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
Walkin' through the fire
To set me free
So I can rise up from the ashes

Send it up in flames
Let it light the sky
Now that I know best
Found more to 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
Walkin' 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...

Rise up from

the ashes...
