I was lost, given up life

Too much cost, not enough time

Been accused of good luck

While I’m beaten, abused, and banged up

 

I had to dash myself along the bottom rocks

Land on my feet only to realize that I could not walk

I felt the burning and the scarring of my whole world crashing

But now I’m a Phoenix and I’m rising from the ashes

 

Had my share of heartache and doubt

Never scared, I always figured it out

Long as I had me I could find my way

But then it was he and she and you and I just faded away

 

I had to dash myself along the bottom rocks

Land on my feet only to realize that I could not walk

I felt the burning and the scarring of my whole world crashing

But now I’m a Phoenix and I’m rising from the ashes

 

Had to fly straight through the eye of the end

Burned at the stakes of my greatest mistakes

Had to be finished to know where to begin

The winds of choice carried my new voice

 

I had to dash myself along the bottom rocks

Land on my feet only to realize that I could not walk

I felt the burning and the scarring of my whole world crashing

But now I’m a Phoenix and I’m rising from the ashes
