PHOENIX RISINGBy Lisa Lee
Verse 1:
There’s a legend often told of a bird of crimson gold
Surviving centuries of toil and strife
It sets itself aflame to die and then to rise again
Rebirthing its immortal soul.
Chorus:
Now she’s rising from the ashes, she bows her head to pray
Draws up the strength inside her for this most important day
Then she looks up to the heavens and casts her fears away
Spreads her mighty wings and flies away!
And it’s the Might Phoenix Rising, triumphant now and free
It’s the Mighty Phoenix Rising, effortlessly.
Verse 2:
There was a child long ago in Bethlehem was born
But on the cross his body hung in pain
A sacrifice to man born to die and rise again
Rebirthing his immortal soul. (Now he’s rising from the ashes...)
Verse 3:
There’s a woman all alone in the world with her young
A world of great uncertainty and fear
She speaks the words of truth with the bravery of youth
Rebirthing her immortal soul (Now she’s rising from the ashes...)
Verse 4:
There’s a man hurt and confused not knowing where to turn
An empty world, an, oh, so distant star
He speaks Creator’s name and trusts to rise again
Rebirthing his immortal soul. (Now he’s rising from the ashes...)
Repeat verse 1:
Final Chorus:
Now I’m rising from the ashes I bow my head to pray
Draw up the strength inside me for this most important day
Then I look up to the heavens and cast my fears away
Spread my mighty wings and fly away!
And it’s the Might Phoenix Rising
Triumphant now and free
It’s the Mighty Phoenix Rising
Effortlessly, effortlessly.
