(hillary lindsey/austin cunningham)
My right hand holds matches
my left hand holds my past
i hope the wind catches
and burns it down my past
with my failures and my shame
and wave good-bye to yesterday
as i dance among the flames
Don't try to save me now
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
my step will be much lighter
with these demons off my chest
i'm born a better spirit
and lay the old to rest
Don't try to save me now
just stand back and wait till the smoke finally passes
and i will rise
from the ashes
from the ashes
from the ashes

i'll walk away stronger
i will be flyin'
higher and truer
than i've flown before
