Lyrics

Embers
©2010 Westbound

Verse 1
Soft curls of smoke
Risin' from a fire
Dancin' on the air before they fade
Everything that's broken
Takes my soul a little higher
And we won't have to face the night afraid

Verse 2
The persistence of a heart
It always finds a way
So tear it out and toss it in the flames
Secrets fall apart
But the colors never fade
Burned a thousand times and yet it stays

Chorus
Torch the field and watch that smoke risin'
Here that thunder rollin' on the wind
I feel it this time
The phoenix is flyin'
The embers fade I'm feelin' whole again

Verse 3
Darkness lies behind me
Buried in the past
Wakin' from asleep into alive
These phoenix flames remind me
That sunsets never last
Shield my eyes as day breaks on my life

Verse 4
An unforgiving tide
You're caught up in the surge
But the thought of givin' up just makes you fight
Where others may have died inside
You will reemerge
Shakin' off the ashes in your flight
