Ashes to New

(Verse 1)

The sky was blue, now painted red,

Smoke and embers overhead.

The winds picked up, and flames took hold,

Turning dreams to dust, stories untold.

The trees they burned, the earth grew black,

No time to gather, no turning back.

Homes we built with love and care,

Gone in a heartbeat, nothing to spare.

(Chorus)

Ashes to new, through heartache and fire,

We stand as one, rebuilding higher.

From what we've lost, we'll find the way,

To rise from the ruins, come what may.

(Verse 2)

The land was dry, the rivers low,

A warning sign we’ve come to know.

We watch the hills, our spirits torn,

Praying for rain, for a new dawn.

The wildlife fled, or left behind,

Echoes of cries in the smoke-filled sky.

A scorched memory of what once was,

We carry forward, because we must.

(Chorus)

Ashes to new, through heartache and fire,

We stand as one, rebuilding higher.

From what we've lost, we'll find the way,

To rise from the ruins, come what may.

(Bridge)

And when the rains come pouring down,

We'll sow new seeds in this burnt-out ground.

With open hands and hearts so wide,

Together we'll rise, side by side.

(Outro)

For every tear that fell like rain,

We'll plant a seed to ease the pain.

And though the scars will never fade,

We’ll find strength in the life we remake.

(Final Chorus)

Ashes to new, through heartache and fire,

We stand as one, rebuilding higher.

From what we lost, we’ll build it true,

For hope is born from ashes too.
