Dust

I was made from the ashes

I was part of the earth

And I could stay in ground or find the way out

And shake off the dirt

I cried to my Maker, and He saved my soul

And I'm headed to the city with the streets of gold

Far on the opposite side of the setting sun

I'm rising up

My soul is on fire

Nothing's got a hold on me

I'm rising up

Up from the rubble

I was drowning, but now I'm free

My chains are broken;

I am a better man

I found my way to the promised land

I'm not who I was;

I'm rising up from the dust

(Rising up, I'm rising up)

I'm rising up, I'm rising up

(Rising up, I'm rising up)

Like a diamond under pressure

Like metal to the flame

I was broken down, but I'm not broken now

I'm stronger from all the pain

The rivers that I cross are gonna wash me clean

And the summits that I'm on will help my blind eyes see

Far on the opposite side

And though it's a slow climb

I'm rising up

My soul is on fire

Nothing's got a hold on me

I'm rising up

Up from the rubble

I was drowning, but now I'm free

My chains are broken;

I am a better man

I found my way to the promised land

I'm not who I was;

I'm rising up from the dust

(Rising up, I'm rising up)

I'm rising up, I'm rising up

(Rising up, I'm rising up)

I'm rising up

My soul is on fire (soul is on fire)

Nothing's got a hold on me (hold on me)

I'm rising up

Up from the rubble

I was drowning, but now I'm free

My chains are broken;

I am a better man

I found my way to the promised land

I'm not who I was; (Oh no)

I'm rising up from the dust

(Rising up, I'm rising up)

I'm rising up, I'm rising up

(Rising up) Mm-mmm

I'm rising up from the dust
