From The Ashes lyrics

Song information

Artist: Martina Mcbride
Album: Emotion

Lyrics

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 good-bye to yesterday
As I dance among the flames

So don't try to save me now
Let the walls of my world all burn down
Just stand back and wait till 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
And my step will be much lighter
With these demons off my chest
I'm born a better spirit
And lay the old to rest

So don't try to save me now
Let the walls of my world all burn down
Just stand back and wait till the smoke finally passes
And I will rise
From the ashes
From the ashes
From the ashes

And 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
