From The Ashes Lyrics

Performed by Martina McBride

My right hand holds matches
My left holds my past
I hope the wind catches
And burns it down fast
I'm gonna step into the fire
With my failures and my shame
And wave goodbye to yesterday
As I dance among the flames

So don't try to save me now
Let the walls of my world all burn down
Just stand back and wait 'til the smoke finally passes
And I will rise
From the ashes
From the ashes
From the ashes

For all that I'm losing much more will I gain
The hard part is choosing
To change what needs changed
My step will be much lighter
With these demons off my chest
I'm born a better spirit
And lay the old to rest

So don't try to save me now
Let the walls of my world all burn down
Just stand back and wait 'til the smoke finally passes
And I will rise
From the ashes
From the ashes
From the ashes

And I'll walk away stronger
I will be flyin'
Higher and truer
Than I've flown before

My right hand holds matches
My left holds my past
I hope the wind catches
And burns it down fast

I think Hillary Lindsey and Austin Cunningham are great song-writers. Martina McBride does a great job singing this song. Her vocals on this song is like Hillary and Austin wrote this just for Martina.

I love this song. This song reminds me of myself. I love to sing it when I am driving. I wish I could find the music for it. I am making a CD and I would love to add this song to it.

The words and the music are powerful. I think it is one of Martina's best.
