Phoenix Rising from Ashes

Time slips away, like sand through my hands

Lost in the echoes of your shifting plans

Years come and go, in a dance so cruel

This song's my cry, I break the rule

Days to weeks, months to years, same old tune

I’m singing my heart out, under the mournful moon

I long to say what’s buried deep inside

But you lie and hide, you’re my tears and pride

How could you do what you do, deceive and betray?

Hear my cries, see my tears, I can't look away

Today I stand, from the ash I rise

A phoenix reborn, I claim my skies

This is my truth, my honest plea

A love that’s real, meant to be

To those who see, who understand and care

I want a love that’s honest and fair

Was it worth the game, the hurt and the pain?

Or was I just a beneficial gain?

Thinking I was more, but you hid what you are

Now I see through the smoke, I’ve come so far

This is my truth, my honest plea

A love that’s real, meant to be

To those who see, who understand and care

I want a love that’s honest and fair

So here's my promise, my vow anew

To believe in love that’s honest and true

Not just a shadow or fading light

But a love that shines, pure and bright
