Lyrics
Ashes- (revised 2015)
VS.1
At seventeen, I fell hard in love.
She was pretty as the whitest dove.
Broke my heart my senior year.
Said she was moving far from here.
Off to school for a much better way.
Burned me bad when she left that day.
Ashes to ashes they all fall down,
We all have ashes floating around.
VS.2
Went off to war to be a hero.
Guns and bombs were a heavy load.
Fought for the good ole USA.
Battle wounds continue to rage.
After the war trying to reconnect.
Emotional scars around my neck.
Ashes to ashes they all fall down.
We all have ashes floating around.
(Bridge)
The things we go through can make us strong.
Learn about them as we go along.
Ashes are things in our past.
They burnt us once, but they won't be the last.
Ashes to ashes they all fall down,
Ashes to ashes they all fall down
We all have ashes floating around.
VS. 3
We all go through pain, get knocked around.
(But) those burns have made me stronger now.
Spent some time down on my knees.
Asking the good Lord to give me strength
Laid them down got past the flames.
Very proud of how far I've came.
Ashes to ashes they fall down,
We all have ashes floating around.
They all Fall down.
