Aspera Lyrics

I'm in shambles
Blown to bits by our troubles
These brambles
Our stumblings our struggles

Aspera! Per aspera! Per ardua! Ad astra!

It's a forced march
And I'm parched in denial
It's a struggle
Of faith and of fire

Aspera! Per aspera! Per ardua! Ad astra!

I'm in shambles
Blown to bits by our troubles
These brambles
Our stumblings our struggles

Aspera! Per aspera! Per ardua! Ad astra!
Thorns! Over thorns! Through this trouble, we are born!

i'm in shambles blown to bits by our troubles these brambles our stumblings our struggles

aspera! per aspera! per ardua! ad astra!

it's a forced march and i'm parched in denial it's a struggle of faith and of fire

aspera! per aspera! per ardua! ad astra!

walking we are caught, by tiny hooks that hold our hope our skin may be scratched, but nothing holds us back i will be brave, my body may change but my spirit will stay, i will be brave

aspera! per aspera! per ardua! ad astra!

i'm in shambles blown to bits by our troubles these brambles our stumblings our struggles

aspera! per aspera! per ardua! ad astra! thorns! over thorns! through this trouble, we are born!

Cover art for Aspera lyrics by Erin McKeown

Per aspera ad astra or Ad astra per aspera is a Latin phrase which means "Through hardships to the stars" or "To the stars through difficulties".

Take that for what you want but i'm pretty sure it sums up the whole meaning of the song.
