On Fire
Ashes Remain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ve been waiting
All my life for something more
To awaken
And pick myself up off the floor
I’ve been searching
Just for a little light
Nothing was working
Till You brought me to life

I’m on fire
And You’re the One holding the match
I’ve been inspired
And I’m not looking back this time
I’m gonna live everyday like it’s my last
Now that I believe
Gonna leave my failures in the past
Like a criminal set free

Back together
No more pieces on the ground
Better weather
Since You came around

I’m on fire
And You’re the One holding the match
I’ve been inspired
And I’m not looking back this time
I’m gonna live everyday like it’s my last
Now that I believe
Gonna leave my failures in the past
Like a criminal set free

I’m on fire
And You’re the One holding the match
I’ve been inspired
And I’m not looking back

I’m on fire
And You’re the One holding the match
I’ve been inspired
And I’m not looking back this time
I’m gonna live everyday like it’s my last
Now that I believe




Gonna leave my failures in the past
Like a criminal set free
