Clay Aiken Ashes Lyrics

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



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 see how a voice of a reason

Kept reminding me I was never good enough somehow

Try to 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 walking 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 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, rise up from the ashes
