Ashes Into Light

Verse 1: I used to drown in restless flames, Calling the shadows by their names. But every wound I tried to hide Was just the world seen from inside. Pre-Chorus: Anger’s not the enemy — It’s just a spark that points at me. A mirror held, a hidden sign, That shows the places yet to shine. Chorus: I can turn these ashes into light, Every broken piece into something right. Despair’s just the echo of a door, Waiting for me to be something more. I’m not my pain, I’m not my fear — I’m the one who brought me here. Verse 2: The storms I cursed, the nights I wept, Were secret gifts I hadn’t kept. Each tear, a doorway to my core, Each crack revealing something more. Pre-Chorus: I thought the world was fighting me, But it was love in mystery. Despair’s not dark — it’s just a place Where light has yet to show its face. Chorus: I can turn these ashes into light, Every broken piece into something right. Despair’s just the echo of a door, Waiting for me to be something more. I’m not my pain, I’m not my fear — I’m the one who brought me here. Bridge: The rage I held like burning coal — I lay it down and claim my soul. The past can’t hold what I’ve become — I’m infinite, I am the One. Final Chorus (lifted, triumphant): I can turn these ashes into light, Every shattered day into something bright. Despair’s just a voice I’ve yet to outgrow, But I’ve always been more than I know. There was no darkness, only choice — Just the sound of my own voice. Outro (soft): Just the sound.... of my voice.
