After the Ashes
You taught me to be silent
You stole my voice
You told me to be small
You stole my strength
You pushed me down
You stole the ground from underneath my feet
But today I stand back up
Today I grow stronger
Today I speak out
You have not won
You have fueled me
You have not stolen my light
You have given me new eyes
You have not broken me
You have freed me
Today I win
Today I have the power
Today I rise
