about

‘Phoenix’ is about having to metaphorically crash and burn, before moving on to better things, supported by the strength of your inner child.

lyrics

As the plane of my history comes crashing to the ground
The guilt which condemned me uttered not a sound
As Joy and Misery held hands like lovers – ever patient
I waited for my pain to take me to the next station

As the hills went by me, like milestones in my life
I remembered my river before it ran dry
But clouds descended over the mountain peaks
I remembered my loved ones – words…I could not speak…

Like a phoenix from the ashes – I will rise
Like a fighter on the floor, I will stand up - I will surprise
Find the innocence of my childhood – that twinkle in my eyes
I will catch my spirit – throw it to the skies

As the plane of my future goes soaring to the sky
I still remember those days gone by
But now I’ve turned the corner
And can see the light ahead
The journey I have travelled to my future has now led

Like a phoenix from the ashes – I’m alive
Like that fighter on the floor - I survived
Found the innocence of my childhood – that twinkle in my eyes
I have caught my spirit – thrown it to the skies

Catch my spirit…
