Embers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There were days when each hour
Was a war I fought to survive
There were nights full of nightmares
And I dread it close in my eyes
There were skies, they burst open
With a downpour that drowned me alive
But the world took a spark like a match in the dark
And the fire brought me alive
So I’m fanning the flames to climb so high
Cause there’s no other way we can stay alive
Cause we’re burning bright as we all unite
When it’s all said and done,
We’ll shine like the sun
So don’t let the fire die
And we’ll watch the sky as it fills with light
Though the embers are new, whatever you do
Just don’t let the fire die
And you’ll find there’ll be mornings
When the ashes and embers are cold
But you’ll fight with a passion
And you’ll never stop, cause you know
Yeah, you know it gets better
And your story is yet to be told
Every push, every shove, every war, every love
Yeah, the coals are beginning to glow
So I’m fanning the flames to climb so high
Cause there’s no other way we can stay alive
Cause we’re burning bright as we all unite
When it’s all said and done
We’ll shine like the sun
So don’t let the fire die
And we’ll watch the sky as it fills with light
Though the embers are new, whatever you do
Just don’t let the fire die
Don’t let the fire die
It gets better
Just don’t let the fire die
Cause we’re burning bright as we all unite
When it’s all said and done
We’ll shine like the sun
So don’t let the fire die
And we’ll watch the sky as it fills with light
Though the embers are new, whatever you do
Just don’t let the fire die
And though the embers are new, whatever you do
Just don’t let the fire die
Don’t let the fire die
