Rising From The Ashes (Remix)

(Soft piano chords fading in)

(Ambient hum of strings)

The desk is clear, the office lights go dim

I walk out to the rain, the world feels grim

The silence in the car is heavy now

I’m searching for a reason, tell me how

To pick up pieces when the path is gone

I’m feeling weary from the early dawn

But deep inside, a flicker starts to glow

There is a place that I don't even know

It’s okay to weep, it’s okay to fall

Standing here against the city wall

This is just a chapter, not the end

I’ll find the broken spirit here to mend

I am more than titles on a page

I’m stepping forward to a brand new stage

It’s okay, it’s okay, the light will return

I’ve got so much fire left to burn

I’ve given years to clocks that never rest

I put my heart and soul into the test

But maybe destiny has shut this door

To lead me to a life worth living more

I take a breath, the air is cold and sweet

I feel the pavement underneath my feet

The fear is real, the weight is on my chest

But I am worthy of a deeper rest

It’s okay to weep, it’s okay to fall

Standing here against the city wall

This is just a chapter, not the end

I’ll find the broken spirit here to mend

I am more than titles on a page

I’m stepping forward to a brand new stage

It’s okay, it’s okay, the light will return

I’ve got so much fire left to burn

I will not hide, I will not fade away

I’ll find my purpose in the light of day

The setbacks are the setup for the rise

I see the morning sun within my eyes

Let the tears fall, let the cycle break

I’m stronger for the path I have to take

It’s okay to weep, it’s okay to fall

Standing here against the city wall

This is just a chapter, not the end

I’ll find the broken spirit here to mend

I am more than titles on a page

I’m stepping forward to a brand new stage

It’s okay, it’s okay, the light will return

I’ve got so much fire left to burn

The light will return

I’m still here

I am still here

(Piano fades slowly into silence)
