Clay Aiken - Ashes

Someone told me
What doesn`t kill you only
Makes you stronger, sets you free

From all that held you down
With all my heart, I believed
The ember burning Was a dream deep in me
When everything went up in flames
I still walked away

Turn around and see
What love`s done for me
You would not believe
The way I used to be So cold
Maybe love requires
Walking through the fire
To set me free
So I could rise up From the ashes

I was broken
A million pieces left to hold
I was frozen
My heart left out in the cold

Looking back I can see
How the voice of teason Kept reminding me
I was never good enough somehow
Try and remind me now
Turn around and see What love`s done for me

You would not believe
The way I used to be So cold
Maybe love requires
Walking through the fire
To set me free
So I could rise up From the ashes
Send it up in flames
Let it light the sky
Now that I know pain
I`m more alive I`m more alive


Turn around and see
What love`s done for me
You would not believe
The way I used to be So cold


Maybe love requires
Walking through the fire
To set me free
So I could rise up From the ashes
the ashes rise up From the ashes
Someone told me
What doesn`t kill you only
Makes you stronger, sets you free

From all that held you down
With all my heart, I believed
The ember burning Was a dream deep in me
When everything went up in flames
I still walked away

Turn around and see
What love`s done for me
You would not believe
The way I used to be So cold
Maybe love requires
Walking through the fire
To set me free
So I could rise up From the ashes

I was broken
A million pieces left to hold
I was frozen
My heart left out in the cold

Looking back I can see
How the voice of teason Kept reminding me
I was never good enough somehow
Try and remind me now
Turn around and see What love`s done for me

You would not believe
The way I used to be So cold
Maybe love requires
Walking through the fire
To set me free
So I could rise up From the ashes
Send it up in flames
Let it light the sky
Now that I know pain
I`m more alive I`m more alive


Turn around and see
What love`s done for me
You would not believe
The way I used to be So cold


Maybe love requires
Walking through the fire
To set me free
So I could rise up From the ashes
the ashes rise up From the ashes
