I didn't even know I had this song until my iPod randomly pulled it up when it was on shuffle.
I think it's beautiful; I sat and cried, and I wanted to share with everyone. I'm helping to plan the Take Back the Night on my campus, and I want to see if they'll play this sometime during the event.
"From the Ashes" 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

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
