Intro:
(Orchestral strings build with trap drums)
This ain't the end...
This the beginning
Phoenix season
Verse 1:
Started at the bottom of a bottle, couldn't see the light
Toxic running through my veins, poisoning my life
Every friend became a dealer, every day became a blur
Lost myself inside the haze, forgot who I were
But something had to die for something new to grow
Had to burn down everything, let the old me go
Now I'm rising from the ashes of my former self
Trading poison for a purpose, sickness for my health
Chorus:
This my new dawn, new dawn
Everything that held me down is gone, it's gone
Watch me spread these wings and fly
Born again, I touch the sky
New dawn, new dawn
Phoenix rising with the morning sun
Verse 2:
Cut the toxic people out, changed my circle up
Used to chase the dragon, now I'm filling up my cup
With love, with hope, with dreams I thought had died
With every single blessing that the drugs would make me hide
They say you can't teach phoenixes to rise
But every fallen angel earns their wings through painful skies
I earned every feather through the nights I shoulda died
Now I'm soaring over mountains that I used to hide behind
Chorus:
This my new dawn, new dawn
Everything that held me down is gone, it's gone
Watch me spread these wings and fly
Born again, I touch the sky
New dawn, new dawn
Phoenix rising with the morning sun
Bridge:
(Beat drops to gospel piano and choir vocals)
From the ashes (I rise)
From the pain (I rise)
From the toxic waste of yesterday
I rise, I rise
No more chains (I'm free)
No more shame (I'm free)
Phoenix born from all the flames
I'm free, I'm free
Verse 3:
This for everyone who's drowning in their darkness
Who think the toxic got them trapped and feeling heartless
Your phoenix waiting in you, ready to emerge
Sometimes you gotta hit the bottom just to feel the urge
To fly, to rise, to leave it all behind
To find the person that you were always meant to find
I'm living proof that death can lead to resurrection
That your lowest point can be your greatest intersection
Final Chorus:
This our new dawn, new dawn
Everything that held us down is gone, it's gone
Watch us spread these wings and fly
Born again, we touch the sky
New dawn, new dawn
Phoenix army rising with the sun
This my new dawn, new dawn
Finally found where I belong, belong
Rising up from toxic ground
Lost myself but now I'm found
New dawn, new dawn
Phoenix season has begun
Outro:
(Full orchestral arrangement with trap drums)
Every ending is a new beginning
Every loss can be winning
Every scar's a testimony
This my phoenix story
New dawn...
New dawn...
We rising...
Phoenix season...
