Lyrics

Phoenix Rising
(words and music Roy Jones)

Below the surface layer
Everyone has a story
A legacy of trouble
A heavy weight to carry
But each time we overcome
Life's problems and obstacles
We gain great inner strength
Like a wheel for our burden

From the eye of the storm
Hope shall be reborn

Like the Lion King we face the dark
Like the rising sun we bring the spark
The flame of hope lives in this heart
We will never give in to defeat or to hate
We are shining, like the Phoenix rising

As the years roll on
We learn to use this weight
To understand and help others
We listen with no judgement
The weight becomes a treasure
Of very human empathy
Our courage encourages others
Who need to remember

From the eye of the storm
Hope shall be reborn

Like the Lion King we face the dark
Like the rising sun we bring the spark
The flame of hope lives in this heart
We will never give in to defeat or to hate
We are shining, like the Phoenix rising

Phoenix rising
If you need a friend
I'll be there right 'till the end
Together we can face storm
Rise up from the ashes
Of another massive battle

Like the Lion King we face the dark
Like the rising sun we bring the spark
The flame of hope lives in this heart
We will never give in to defeat or to hate
We are shining, like the Phoenix rising
