intro : C F x2
C F Am G
there were days when each hour was a war i fought to survive
C F G F
there were nights full of nightmares and i dreaded closing my eyes
C F Am G
there were skies that burst open with a downpour to drown me alive
C F G
but the world took a spark like a match in the dark and the fire brought me
F
to life
C G C
so i’m fanning the flames to climb so high ’cause there’s no other way we
G F
can stay alive

C G Am F
’cause we’re burning bright as we all unite
C G Am
and when it’s all said and done we’ll shine like the sun so don’t let the
F
fire die
C G Am F
and we’ll watch the sky as it fills with light
C G Am F
and though the embers are new , whatever you do just don’t let the fire die

C F Am G
and you’ll find , there’ll be mornings when the ashes and embers are cold
C F G F
but you’ll fight with a passion and you’ll never stop ’cause you know
C F Am G
yeah you know it gets better and your story is yet to be told
C F
every push , every shove , every war , every love
