Phoenix Rising - Steve Winwood

See you on the avenue

And I know you’re gonna be

Hearing secret harmonies, yeah, yeah

It’s a very fine line, a trembling leaf

‘Tween the heaven here on earth

And mystery you’ve witnessed in your own dreams

As the stars shine with magic illusion

And the sirens sing up from the streets

Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising

Hear the beat, feel the heat

Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising

Blue is what you make it, babe

No one else can make you cry

While seasons mark your proud beliefs, yeah

And the passion fills your eyes with sodium light

And the secrets that you hold within you

Should be mine and mine alone now, yeah

Well, it’s love not illusion, that’s what I want

And the music that flows from the streets at night

Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising

Hear the beat, feel the heat

Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising

Take the rhythm now

For it rolls on all through the town

Close your eyes, take your prize

Just as I stumble through the heat and I remember

As I wander through the streets, I remember ancient beats

Though the sidewalk burns my feet, I surrender

As the stars shine with magic illusion

And the sirens sing up from the street

Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising

Hear the beat, feel the heat

Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising

Take the rhythm now

For it rolls on all through the town

Close your eyes, take your prize

Find your space, take your place, yeah
