Phoenix

© Francisco Guzman 2005

The Sun is reborn every morning, because it perishes every night
Announcing it is time, for the Phoenix to take flight...

Every time you rain on me, my ambition will light my flame
Doesn’t matter how much you’ve hurt me, my pride will remain the same
If you try to make me lose Hope, my aspiration will burn even longer
Doesn’t matter how you put me down, I will always come back stronger

When you think I am too weak, I’ll flap my wings and teach myself to fly
When no trace of me is left, you’ll find my feathers scattered across the sky
If you are thinking I won’t last, my sudden blaze of truth will prove you wrong
When you leave me to be alone, I’ll find company within my nocturnal song

When the path I have lost, Let the fire contained by my eyes illuminate the way
Even if your prayers are against me, the sun will guide me so I will never go astray
You can remind me of my past failures, but that was all part of a distant yesterday
You can say what you please, but I will pay no mind; because my future starts today

You will see me soar across the heavens, my golden flames consuming my fears
The sparks leave you a trail of where I have been, places that I will never again come near
You can set my world on fire, Destroy my dreams and all my desires
But once the smoke clears; it’ll be me rising above the ashes
Because you cannot bury in flames, what was born within them
