Ashes Make Flowers

Verse 1]

I gave it all and watched it burn

Every lesson I had to unlearn

Held too long to what I lost

Built a throne from broken thoughts

[Chorus]

But ashes make flowers

Soft from the flame

Beauty don’t bloom

Without carrying pain

I fell like the dusk

But I rose like a name

Yeah, ashes make flowers

And I remain

[Verse 2]

No map for this kind of grace

No praise for the silent place

But I made gold from what was gone

Turned my weeping into song

[Chorus]

’Cause ashes make flowers

Truth from the fire

Every goodbye

Just lifted me higher

I bled through the roots

But I grew through the rain

Ashes make flowers

And I remain

[Bridge]

Not every flame is meant to hurt

Some destroy what kept me cursed

And in that smoke, I found my voice

What I became was always choice

[Final Chorus / Outro]

Ashes make flowers

Don’t mourn the fall

My soul kept growing

Through it all

I broke wide open

And bloomed anyway

Ashes make flowers

And I’m here to stay
