THE PHOENIX - Daniel Jordan

My whole world burned down like matches

But now the phoenix rises out of the ashes

And I’m leaving behind a trail of dust

In front of all the people that I used to trust

Only within can I find my happiness

And I’m shedding off all of my old skin after this

And as the phoenix rises out of the flames

I’m moving on and accepting the things I can’t change

It’s gonna take time before my heart is mended

Cause it feels just like my whole world ended

It’s like a spiritual rebirth, my life is going stronger

Everyday I’m working harder and going a little longer

You left me feeling like your love was a prison

I’ve been betrayed by the things that I used to envision

Our world’s crashed into each other just like a collision

And since you’ve been missing I’ve found a different type of religion

No more hurt, today it’s gonna end

And it’s time to forgive her and then I’ll learn to live again

I dug up old feelings to see if I could deal with em'

I thought about the man you left me for and if you’re still with him

And last night I said a prayer for your happiness

Cause it’s the last step of letting go of the past and this

Could be the last tear that I’ll ever shed for you

Cause life will never be the same as it was before you

When things don’t always work out the way that we want em'

There’s always gotta be hope for everybody thats broken hearted

Some people love to lose, and live in sin

But the game isn’t over until you finally win

Sometimes you’ll never find love no matter where you turn

But every time you get hurt is like a chance to learn

Love could give you the highest of highs and lowest of lows

And with friends like these who really needs some foes?

And on the day you were born the angels got together

To observe your whole uphill battle provided by the devil

When you were young you had love in your heart

Too many people you trusted stepped on it and tore it apart

Cause these days they want us all to fail

Cops circle the streets seeking people to put in jail

Sometimes you’ve gotta play the game to keep your freedom

Cause believe it, if it was up to them they’d rather leave you bleeding

Your whole world burned down like matches

But now the phoenix rises out of the ashes

And you’re leaving behind a trail of dust

In front of all the people that you used to trust

Only within can you find your happiness

And you’re shedding off all of your old skin after this

And as the phoenix rises out of the flames

You’re moving on and accepting the things you can’t change

I am the phoenix

I am the phoenix

I am the phoenix

I am the phoenix rising out of the flames

You are the phoenix

You are the phoenix

You are the phoenix

You are the phoenix rising out of the flames
