Michael Bolton
Out of the Ashes
[Verse 1]
All the ghostly streets are bare
The boarded windows scream despair
And I walk on
There used to be a city here
When hope was full and dreams were clear
But now they're gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Through rusted memories
Our sleepless eyes see
Night surrender into the dawn
[Chorus]
Out of the ashes, comes a new fire
Turning the darkness into a burning sun
Out of the ashes, wings headed skyward
I will rise like a bullet that’s flying
From Heaven's gun
[Post-Chorus]
Heaven's gun
[Verse 2]
Iron hands of trusted kings
Have stolen almost everything
And called it even
Deep in my own conquered heart
Tomorrow is a work of art
I still believe it
[Pre-Chorus]
They didn’t kill me, someday it will be
My turn at the top of the world
[Chorus]
Out of the ashes, comes a new fire
Turning the darkness into a burning sun
Out of the ashes, wings headed skyward
I will rise like a bullet that's flying
From Heaven's gun
[Bridge]
It's not about destiny
It's not about fate
It's all about courage
And refusing to break
It's all about living up
All about not giving up
Would you walk through hell to find yourself?
You can hold your head up while this world goes down in flames
[Chorus]
Out of the ashes, comes a new fire
Turning the darkness into a burning sun
Out of the ashes, wings headed skyward
We will rise like a bullet that's flying
From Heaven’s gun
[Outro]
It’s not about destiny
It's not about fate (From Heaven’s gun)
It's all about courage and refusing to break (Out of the ashes)
It's all about living up
All about not giving up
We will rise like a bullet that's flying
From Heaven’s gun
It's not about destiny
It's not about fate
It's all about courage and refusing to break
It's all about living up
All about not giving up
We will rise like a bullet that's flying
From Heaven's gun
