Owl City - Embers lyrics

There were days when each hour
Was a war I fought to survive
There were nights full of nightmares
And I dreaded closing my eyes
There were skies that burst open
With a downpour to drown me alive
But the world took a spark like
A match in the dark
And the fire brought me to life

So I'm fanning the flames to climb so high
Because there's no other way
We can stay alive

Because we're burning bright as we all unite
And when it's all said and done
We'll shine like the sun
So don't let the fire die
And we'll watch the sky as
It fills with light
And though the embers are new
Whatever you do just don't let the fire die

And you'll find, there'll be mornings
When the ashes and embers are cold
But you'll fight with a passion
And you'll never stop cause you know
Yeah you know it gets better
And your story is yet to be told
Every push, every shove, every war
Every love
Yeah the coals are beginning to glow

So I'm fanning the flames to climb so high
Because there's no other way
We can stay alive

Because we're burning bright as we all unite
And when it's all said and done
We'll shine like the sun
So don't let the fire die
And we'll watch the sky as
It fills with light
And though the embers are new
Whatever you do just don't let the fire die

Don't let the fire die it gets better
Just don't let the fire die, no

Because we're burning bright as we all unite
And when it's all said and done
We'll shine like the sun
So don't let the fire die
And we'll watch the sky as
It fills with light
And though the embers are new
Whatever you do just don't let the fire die

And though the embers are new
Whatever you do just don't let the fire die
Don't let the fire die
