you never thought you would get to a place / where your life could go from carefree to suddenly aching beautiful to breaking // now you crawl through the smoke and haze / fighting just to find some daylight to see the sun and then catch your breath again // there's a whisper in the chaos / and it's calling out your name // just believe / i know you’re gonna make it / don't let go / when the ground beneath you's shaking / from the good times to the bad times / and the things you can't control / you gotta hold on // there are days when the weight of the world / is enough to make you think that you're forgotten / you're not forgotten / waiting there for this moment to pass / looking up and praying for some hope tonight / just to feel alive // take the beauty from the ashes / now it's it is time to rise again // if your feel you’re at the end / and the light is fading out / the walls are caving in / you gotta hold on / deep inside of you / there a hope beyond the fight / there's a faith to pull you through

Behind the Song:
'Life can get hard. People can get hurt. That’s the reality of the world. But as God’s beloved children, we are not alone. We have a Savior, the all-powerful Creator of the universe, and in Him, there is hope. There is solid ground. Written to encourage the weary, this riveting rock anthem follows that lyrical theme, pounding home the truth that there is beauty in the ashes and that we can all rise above the circumstances.' - Melissa Riddle Chalos
