Phoenix

I was ashes in the rain,

Falling quiet, lost in pain.

No one saw the flame inside,

Buried deep where hope would hide.

I whispered prayers in silent rooms,

Built my wings from broken wounds.

They said I’d never rise again,

But I was fire wearing skin.

I'm a phoenix, flying blind,

Through the storm and through the night.

Torn apart, I came alive —

Watch me burn and touch the sky.

They tried to drown me in the dark,

But I became a glowing spark.

I'm not afraid to feel the pain —

I rise, I rise again.

Every scar, a secret song,

That made me fierce, that made me strong.

I cried in gold and danced in dust,

Turned my silence into trust.

Shadows chased me, pulled me down,

But I wore tears like a crown.

Now I’m not who I was before —

I’m something wild, something more.

I'm a phoenix, flying blind,

Through the storm and through the night.

Torn apart, I came alive —

Watch me burn and touch the sky.

They tried to drown me in the dark,

But I became a glowing spark.

I'm not afraid to feel the pain —

I rise, I rise again.

Ooh, I was breaking...

But breaking made me new.

Ooh, I was fading...

Now I shine in every hue.

I'm a phoenix, rising high,

From the wreckage, from goodbye.

I found my voice in shattered glass —

I was made to rise at last.

So when they say the light is gone —

I’ll be burning all night long.

I'm not afraid to start again —

I rise... I rise again.
