From the ashes, I remember
Each and every dying ember
When that fire did return
My whole world began to burn

Now I stand among the heap
Feeling like I'm a lost sheep
With no shepherd as my guide
I broke down and then I cried

Irritated by the blaze
That burned me so many days
I began to gasp and choke
When my lungs filled up with smoke

Pretty soon, I could not see
What was right in front of me
Hold your breath, the smoke was thick
My mind was already sick

Waiting for the smoke to clear
Did not make it disappear
What did happen, was quite strange
When the winds began to change

That same wind that I once chased
Cleared that smoke and did lay waste
To the demons of my past
My next breath won't be my last

Now I can breathe easily
There's no smoke to torment me
Even though I truly sinned
I owe my life to the wind
