Phoenix

I have seen the smoke block out the sky,

Crash-landed attempts to fly.

While the smell of burning plastic is filling the air.

I've been broken into smithereens,

Till my dreams are drenched with gasoline.

Watch it burn until it feels like there is nothing left.

And as I fall I'm whispering a prayer.

Close my eyes & see You there.

Reminding me your love will never die, never die.

I will rise,

and rise again

from the ashes,

like a phoenix

I will rise when the world is burning down around me.

In the light

i'm brought back to life

from the ashes,

like a phoenix

I will rise when the world is burning down around me.

there's a photograph inside my head

Of a desert wasteland, painted red

But that was then, and i know it's not over yet.

But then i feel the lift of air beneath me.

Touch my lips, my breath's returning

at 10, 000 feet You say:

"Just be who you are."

Then You stamped Your Name across my heart

And held me close inside Your arms

reminding me that love will never die, never die.

I will rise,

and rise again

from the ashes,

like a phoenix

I will rise when the world is burning down around me.

In the light

i'm brought back to life

from the ashes,

like a phoenix

I will rise when the world is burning down around me.

We will rise, from the ashes.

We will rise, from the ashes.

We will rise, from the ashes.

I will rise when the world is burning down around me.

I will rise,

and rise again

from the ashes,

like a phoenix

I will rise when the world is burning down around me.

In the light

i'm brought back to life

from the ashes,

like a phoenix

I will rise when the world is burning down around me.

I will rise, from the ashes.

I will rise, like a phoenix.

I will rise when the world is burning down around me.
