Rise from the Ashes

In the shadows, the smoke surrounds me,

A heavy burden, a shackle that binds me,

But there's a fire within, igniting the fight,

With every breath I take, I’ll reclaim my light.

Cigarettes whisper, but I hear the call,

A life worth living, can’t let it fall,

The poison in my lungs, the darkness in my soul,

It takes more than time to become whole.

But I rise, I rise, from the ashes of despair,

With every moment, I will breathe the air,

No more chains, I’ve broken the spell,

I won’t let this vice take me to hell.

I will stand tall, I will break free,

The smoke fades away, can’t you see?

With strength in my heart and fire in my veins,

I’ll fight for my life; I’ll shatter these chains!

The scars of the past, I wear like a mark,

A reminder of the journey, I’ll ignite the spark,

Every inhale, I’ll choose to forget,

With every heartbeat, I will rise from regret.

I’ll turn to the heavens, call upon the sun,

With love in my spirit, I’m finally undone,

The taste of freedom, it’s sweet on my tongue,

The battle is over, a new song is sung.

Oh, I rise, I rise, from the ashes of despair,

With every moment, I can breathe the air,

No more chains, I’ve broken the spell,

I won’t let this vice take me to hell.

I will stand tall, I will break free,

The smoke fades away, can’t you see?

With strength in my heart and fire in my veins,

I’ll fight for my life; I’ll shatter these chains!

So here I am, reborn with a roar,

The smoke is behind me; I’m ready for more,

With hope in my heart, I’ll shine bright like a star,

A warrior of light, I know who you are!

Together we'll rise, together we'll soar,

No more cigarettes, no more war!

A future ahead, where the skies are clear,

I stand on this battlefield, free of my fear!
