I look in the mirror and stare at myself Remembering back and how it all began
Deeply hidden the pain in my eyes
It's still there, it's been a long time ago
Shattered dreams that are in pieces
My heart feels like it weighs tons
All these scars I wear them like tattoos on my soul Sharp pain sits like a lump in my throat
But a voice inside me whispers to me don't give up now
Do it like the phoenix, keep getting up
Someday you'll be free and you'll fly
Then all of this will be long behind you
I'm slowly getting tired of the path
Where is the door, where is the way out
Lonely warrior, I'm so sick of fighting
But I'm not ready to give up either
How long will it go on like this?
How many more storms to survive?
When will the sun shine for me?
When will peace finally return to me?
But a voice inside me whispers to me, don't give up now,
do it like the phoenix, keep getting up,
Someday you'll be free and you'll fly
Then all of this will be long behind you
How am I supposed to find peace when everything inside me is screaming
I just don't have any air to breathe
I often feel lost and wandering around
Unknown journeys without a sat nav are difficult While my heart is breaking under the burden
And here again nothing fits together
I carry my smile out into the world
So that no one sees how much it torments me
But a voice inside me whispers to me, don't give up now,
do it like the phoenix, keep getting up,
Someday you'll be free and you'll fly
Then all of this will be long behind you
Inside me I want to cry and scream,
just to free myself from all the chains
I'm full of sadness and anger But I lock them away in my heart
I don't know what to do with all this pain
When I'm around people I'm still often alone Always on guard to be prepared
Ask myself if I'm really strong enough
Fight my way through life and question the meaning
But a voice inside me whispers to me don't give up now
Do it like the phoenix keep getting up
Someday you will be free and you will fly
Then all this will be long behind you
I only have this one wish to finally arrive I want to find peace and calm down
