The Phoenix Rises
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.
If I give my heart to you, are you gonna break it
If I give my hand to you, are you gonna take it
If I give my life to you, are you gonna take it
And break it into a million crystals
Makin' me desperate for you, for you
Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises
Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises
Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises
Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises
New beginnings are so hard to find
New beginnings are mountains to climb
Blue sky over the horizon
But the sheer cliffs of copper pierce my mind
Emerald-green rivers speak quietly
And the black nights bring stars in my eyes
Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises
Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises
Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises
Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises
If I give my heart to you, are you gonna break it
If I give my hand to you, are you gonna take it
If I give my life to you, are you gonna take it
And break it into a million crystals
Makin' me desperate for you, for you
Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises
Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises
Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises
Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises
