Alive From the Ashes

Verse 1

Broke down on the sidewalk while the winter bit my hands

Counted every penny in a coffee-stained can

Mama said I'd make it but she cried when I left

Had a notebook full of verses that I never confessed

Pre-Chorus

Every scar I'm wearing

Is a lesson that I'm sharing

Turn the pain into the pavement

Let it carry me to places

Chorus

I was down but I got up again (got up again)

Learned to bleed before I learned to win

Built a fire out of everything I lost

Now I'm walking on the bridges that I crossed

Post-Chorus

Yeah I risen from the ashes

Stitch these torn up lashes

I'm alive I'm alive

Verse 2

Drove through empty cities with the fog across the glass

Sang my heart into a mic that cheap as shattered glass

Every door that shut on me just opened one behind

Traded all my sorrow for a peace of mind

Pre-Chorus

Every scar I'm wearing

Is a lesson that I'm sharing

Turn the pain into the pavement

Let it carry me to places

Chorus

I was down but I got up again (got up again)

Learned to bleed before I learned to win

Built a fire out of everything I lost

Now I'm walking on the bridges that I crossed

Bridge

They can take the crown

But they can't take the glow

What they meant to bury

Is the seed that helped me grow

Chorus

I was down but I got up again (got up again)

Learned to bleed before I learned to win

Built a fire out of everything I lost

Now I'm walking on the bridges that I crossed

Post-Chorus

Yeah I risen from the ashes

Stitch these torn up lashes

I'm alive I'm alive
