Rising from Ashes

(humm-mm-mm) They told me I would never,

said that I would never rise

Counted all my failures,

saw the doubt behind their eyes

But I kept on climbing higher with a fire I couldn't name

Every door they closed on me just lit a brighter flame

I won't back down,

I won't break

Every scar I carry

is a chance I'll take

Now they whisper as I'm standing in the sun

Look at all the ground I covered,

look at how far I've come

They said the sky was limit,

but they chained me to the floor

Turned my dreams to distant dust,

made my courage feel like war

But I learned to trust the heartbeat that was pounding in my

chest

When the voices said "you're nothing" I swore I'd prove them wrong

instead

Turn the noise of their doubt into an anthem for my soul

Every "never" that they spoke became the fuel to take control

I was lost beneath their steps till I learned to make my

light

Now their words are fading embers in the fire of my fight

I won't back down,

I won't break

Every scar I carry

is a chance I'll take

Let them watch me as I'm dancing in the sun

Look at all the ground I covered,

look at how far I've come

I won't lay down,

I won't run

This is only just begun

From the ashes of their "never" see the person I've become Look

at all the ground I covered,

look at how far I've come Look at how far I've come (mm-mm-mm)

Look at how far I've come
