Phoenix

Katrina Carlson

Compositor: Katrina Carlson / Ron Cohen

Dragons hide in wide open spaces

Breathing fire through a smiling face

When the smoke has cleared

Turn and face the fate you feared and



(chorus)

Rise, ashes still in your eyes

You laugh or you cry, whatever gets you by

Like the phoenix, fly



Your heart burned in the desert wind

It blew your mind and your innocence

Go and curse the sun

Or become the stronger one



(chorus)



There once lived a girl

Who could not close her eyes at night

Fearing darker worlds

She slept days only dreamin' of light



In the dark, cries a tear for wings

Like the lark, in her cage, she sings

Turn the world upside down

'til the hope you lost is found and



(chorus x2)
