Like a Phoenix
©Kelli Cates
Like a phoenix rising from the flames
I say your name, I say your name
From the ashes of a broken shame
I say your name, I say your name
There's so many reasons not to trust
But you believe, you believe
I fell into a trend of blood and dust
But you believed...believed in me
And I want to give you all of me
I want to live so happily
But like the dark, you need a lot of light
So will you fight like I'm prepared to fight?
The memories are remedies for a broken soul
That you have made whole
And so I'll try to block the high that holds me down
And so the Phoenix flies.
Like a sun rising from the east
I find release, I find release
Like a shadow in a baking heat
I find release, oh sweet release
But I want to give you all of me
And I want to live so happily
But like the dark, you need a lot of light
So will you fight like I'm prepared to fight?
The memories are remedies for a broken soul
That you have made whole
And so I'll try to block the high that holds me down
And so the Phoenix flies
The Phoenix flies...
Like a Phoenix rising from the flames
I say your name, your beautiful name
Like the victim of a child's game
I am to blame, yes I'm to blame
But I want to give you all of me
I will love you endlessly
But like the dark, we need to do what's right
So will you fight?
I'm prepared to fight.
The memories are remedies for a broken soul
That you have made whole
And so I'll try to block the high that holds me down
And so the Phoenix flies
(repeat)
I say your name, I say your name
From the ashes of a broken shame
I say your name, I say your name
There's so many reasons not to trust
But you believe, you believe
I fell into a trend of blood and dust
But you believed...believed in me
And I want to give you all of me
I want to live so happily
But like the dark, you need a lot of light
So will you fight like I'm prepared to fight?
The memories are remedies for a broken soul
That you have made whole
And so I'll try to block the high that holds me down
And so the Phoenix flies.
Like a sun rising from the east
I find release, I find release
Like a shadow in a baking heat
I find release, oh sweet release
But I want to give you all of me
And I want to live so happily
But like the dark, you need a lot of light
So will you fight like I'm prepared to fight?
The memories are remedies for a broken soul
That you have made whole
And so I'll try to block the high that holds me down
And so the Phoenix flies
The Phoenix flies...
Like a Phoenix rising from the flames
I say your name, your beautiful name
Like the victim of a child's game
I am to blame, yes I'm to blame
But I want to give you all of me
I will love you endlessly
