Coals and Ashes

I have risen up
Out of the hot coals of anger
Out and up from the ashes
The ashes that held me down
And kept me at the boiling point
Yes i have risen up

I reach my hands up and out
To try and feel the new world of
Cool serenity, and peace
Everything feels nicer smoother
More giving

My feet carefully step forward
One miss step and I fall back
Down into the fire, into the heat
Now I can see this new world
My friends are all here welcoming me
Brushing off the ashes

I have risen up and now I have
Found my ground
But there is still a coal In my pocket...
