Phoenix - The New Shining

I got too close to the sun before I

Realised my wings were turning to ashes soon

I was going down fast and then I knew

Something would have to change if I ever was

To see my home again in this life

So, I turned it around 'fore it was gone

I turned it around 'fore it was gone

There’s a whole lot of work to be done, I thought

This could be the time for me to change it all at once

I heard a sound, coming from deep within my heart

I didn’t shy away, I just took my time and I would wait

For the storm to come, and wait it out

Wait it out till it was gone

Wait it out till it was gone

Then I turned it around, and it begun

So I dug deep, into the ground

And I dug myself a hole the size of a man

And laid me down, ready to let the fire cleanse my soul

Out of the ashes, out of bones

Like a phoenix, I will rise up, rise up

Burn it down, then rise again

As I dropped deep, onto the ground

I learned to walk again, like my fellow men

No flying high, but the seeds I found, made me hear the sound

So clearly, I fought and found myself in and 'round the fire

Burning, out of the ashes, free again to breathe

Oh my sun, my glorious sun, I will sing my songs for you alone

Till my days are done

I won’t stray from the path that you have put me on

I’ll follow my heart and I’ll do my part

Until you bring me home

And I will sing, sing my songs for you alone
