| I got too close to the sun before I
|
| Realised my wings were turning to ashes soon
|
| I was going down fast and then I knew
|
| Something would have to change if I ever was
|
| To see my home again in this life
|
| So, I turned it around 'fore it was gone
|
| I turned it around 'fore it was gone
|
| There’s a whole lot of work to be done, I thought
|
| This could be the time for me to change it all at once
|
| I heard a sound, coming from deep within my heart
|
| I didn’t shy away, I just took my time and I would wait
|
| For the storm to come, and wait it out
|
| Wait it out till it was gone
|
| Wait it out till it was gone
|
| Then I turned it around, and it begun
|
| So I dug deep, into the ground
|
| And I dug myself a hole the size of a man
|
| And laid me down, ready to let the fire cleanse my soul
|
| Out of the ashes, out of bones
|
| Like a phoenix, I will rise up, rise up
|
| Burn it down, then rise again
|
| As I dropped deep, onto the ground
|
| I learned to walk again, like my fellow men
|
| No flying high, but the seeds I found, made me hear the sound
|
| So clearly, I fought and found myself in and 'round the fire
|
| Burning, out of the ashes, free again to breathe
|
| Oh my sun, my glorious sun, I will sing my songs for you alone
|
| Till my days are done
|
| I won’t stray from the path that you have put me on
|
| I’ll follow my heart and I’ll do my part
|
| Until you bring me home
|
| And I will sing, sing my songs for you alone |
