Lyrics
The Phoenix
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The phoenix cannot seem to fly
She has both wings weighted down
The perfect moment the perfect light
The timing must be just right
The phoenix spreading kerosene
She puts it on everything
Desperately lighting the match
Knowing this is what phoenixes do
She has it down
Exactly what happens when she's off the ground
But she is so scared
The fireproof armor that she wears
Are history, walls of despair
She wants free
She thinks she's ready to burn
She has it down
Exactly what happens when she's off the ground
But how does she get there
A blessing I will give to her
She cannot hear it
I believe that all blessings are heard
I find that comforting
I know she's strong
She'll find a way to let go and move on
'Cause that's what phoenixes do
