The Phoenix

Some lyrics of mine Song The Phoenix Once I was like a star in the sky, My art shined bright, everyone knew me by. The applause was loud as thunder, a sweet and warm sound, I danced in the light, my heart was on holy ground. But fame is fleeting, a shadow, a whisper on the wind, My life took a turn, the good vanished from within. The admirers fell silent, their hearts grew cold and deep, I fell into the abyss, couldn't find a place to sleep. From these ashes, I'll rise anew, Like the Phoenix in the fire, to myself I'll stay true. The scars of my life, they tell of my might, My soul glows, to new strength I've awoken in the night. I'm not defeated, nor am I small or weak, I'm a fighter whose heart finds the words it can speak. The anthem rings, may my life shine loud and clear, I am the Phoenix, an immortal light, a life without fear! My life lay in ruins, the world spun without me, Lost in the darkness, no way out I could see. The apartment was tiny, my heart so empty inside, I asked silently, "What is my worth, where can I hide?" Then a spark of hope broke out from within, A light close by, a new chapter to begin. My old life got a new sense, my spirit was purified, So my destiny took shape, new dreams inside me lied. From these ashes, I'll rise anew, Like the Phoenix in the fire, to myself I'll stay true. The scars of my life, they tell of my might, My soul glows, to new strength I've awoken in the night. I'm not defeated, nor am I small or weak, I'm a fighter whose heart finds the words it can speak. The anthem rings, may my life shine loud and clear, I am the Phoenix, an immortal light, a life without fear! With my hands, I gave it my all, Debris and ashes can be woven into a beautiful wall. What I accomplish, I put my heart into, This shapes my destiny, with luck, I'm getting through. I'm free from old worries and sorrow, What I achieve has its worth today and tomorrow. From these ashes, I'll rise anew, Like the Phoenix in the fire, to myself I'll stay true. The scars of my life, they tell of my might, My soul glows, to new strength I've awoken in the night. I'm not defeated, nor am I small or weak, I'm a fighter whose heart finds the words it can speak. The anthem rings, may my life shine loud and clear, I am the Phoenix, an immortal light, a life without fear! My life, the Phoenix, flies higher and higher, A new song rings out in a loud, happy choir!
