Susannah Billingsley - Pure Gold Lyrics

Didn't think I'd ever wake up here
They say it's darkest just before the dawn
But in destruction everything seems clear
From the ashes I can be reborn
I ran for far too long
Ain't it funny how my scars
Can make me feel so strong
The world tried to break me
Tried to smother up my soul
They tried to put out the spark
Little did they know
I would rise through the fire
Burn even brighter
In this darkness I'm made whole
They tried to put out the flames
But little did they know
I'd come out as pure gold
All this chaos and all this pain
Taught me how to dance in the rain
Some say I'm driving down a dead-end road
Life always seems to make you reap what's sown
At times I was gasping for air
The only thing that got me through
Was a whole lot of prayer
The world tried to break me
Tried to smother up my soul
They tried to put out the spark
Little did they know
I would rise through the fire
Burn even brighter
In this darkness I'm made whole
Tried to put out the flames
But little did they know
Though the flames rise up
I'll be stronger now
I'll be making my way back to the holy ground
I will not give up
I will stand my ground
Even when it all seems to start tumbling down
Though the flames rise up
I'll be stronger now
I'll be making my way back to the holy ground
I will not give up
I will stand my ground
Even when it all seems to start tumbling down
Stand my ground
The world tried to break me
Tried to smother up my soul
They tried to put out the spark
Little did they know
I would rise through the fire
Burn even brighter
In this darkness I'm made whole
Tried to put out the flames
But little did they know
I'd come out as pure gold
I'd come out as pure gold
