Rise Like a Phoenix - John Owen-Jones

Waking in the rubble

Walking over glass

Neighbors say we’re trouble

Well that time has passed

Peering from the mirror

No, that isn’t me

Stranger getting nearer

Who can this person be

You wouldn’t know me at all today

From the fading light, I fly

Rise like a phoenix

Out of the ashes

Seeking rather than vengeance, retribution

You were warned

Once I’m transformed, once I’m reborn

You know I will rise like a phoenix

But you’re my flame

Go about your business

Act as if you’re free

No one could have witnessed

What you did to me

Cause you wouldn’t know me today

And you have got to see

To believe

From the fading light, I fly

Rise like a phoenix

Out of the ashes

Seeking rather than vengeance, retribution

You were warned

Once I’m transformed, once I’m reborn

I rise up to the sky

You threw me down but

I’m gonna fly

And rise like a phoenix

Out of the ashes

Seeking rather than vengeance, retribution

You were warned

Once I’m transformed, once I’m reborn

You know I will rise like a phoenix

But you’re my flame
