[Lyric] Ashes of Yesterday (Janet Grogan)

[Verse 1]
Run away, run away
Try to act like everything's okay
Take the pain, feel the shame
Try to shout, but all in vain
Push it down, so used to hiding pain now
Ask yourself, "Am I insane?"

[Pre-Chorus]
All of the words got inside of your head
You gotta wipe up the tears you shed
Gotta get up now and march ahead
You're so much better

[Chorus]
We're lighting a fire
In ashes of yesterday
Because we are fighters
With bruises to erase
Don't let nobody put us down
Our voice is here to stay
Because we are fighters
We're lighting a fire
In ashes of yesterday
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Ready to face another day
Feeling brave, 'cause words can't bring you down now
Nothing they say will ever change who you are
You know the rainy days will wash away
The pain from everyone of us
So, let's break the chain
Ignite the flame
A billion hearts to heal the scars

[Pre-Chorus]
All of the words got inside of our heads
We gotta wipe up the tears we shed
We gotta get up now and march ahead
We're so much better

[Chorus]
We're lighting a fire
In ashes of yesterday
Because we are fighters
With bruises to erase
Don't let nobody put us down
Our voice is here to stay
Because we are fighters
We're lighting a fire
In ashes of yesterday
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Bridge]
Don't let nobody bring you down
Keep on marchin' to the drum
Don't let nobody bring you down
Keep on marchin' to the drum

[Chorus]
We're lighting a fire
In ashes of yesterday
Because we are fighters
With bruises to erase
Don't let nobody put us down
Our voice is here to stay
Because we are fighters
We're lighting a fire
In ashes of yesterday

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) Don't let nobody bring you down
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) No, no, no, no, no
Ashes of yesterday
