Dust

I was made from the ashes
I was part of the earth
And I could stay in the ground or find the way out
And shake off the dirt
I cried to my Maker, and He saved my soul
And I'm headed to the city with the streets of gold
Far on the opposite side of the setting Sun

I'm rising up
My soul is on fire
Nothing’s got a hold on me
I'm rising up
Up from the rubble
I was drowning, but now I'm free
My chains are broken
I am a better man
I found my way to the promised land
I'm not who I was
I'm rising up from the dust (Rising up)
I'm rising up
I'm rising up (Rising up)

Like a diamond under pressure
Like metal to the flame
I was broken down, but I'm not broken now
I'm stronger from all the pain
The rivers that I cross are gonna wash me clean
And the summits that I'm on will help my blind eyes see
Far on the opposite side
And though it’s a slow climb

I'm rising up
My soul is on fire
Nothing’s got a hold on me
I'm rising up
Up from the rubble
I was drowning, but now I'm free
My chains are broken
I am a better man
I found my way to the promised land
I'm not who I was
I'm rising up from the dust (Rising up)
I'm rising up
I'm rising up (Rising up)

I'm rising up
My soul is on fire
Nothing’s got a hold on me
I'm rising up
Up from the rubble
I was drowning, but now I'm free
My chains are broken
I am a better man
I found my way to the promised land
I'm not who I was
I'm rising up from the dust (Rising up)
I'm rising up
I'm rising up (Rising up)
Uuuhm
I'm rising up from the dust
