I ARISE LIKE A PHOENIX
Knocked down by circumstance Beaten till I hold no substance Down, I lay in thick waters Covered by dirt, muddy gutters Blazed by the scorching flame I can’t feel my bones, I guess I am lame Ashes so hot, how do I fight Above this pain which so deeply bites? At the twinkling stars, I gaze Amazed at their majestic blaze I hear their resounding roar As they beckon on me to soar To the skies for an endless dazzle, I rise Weary, torn and worn, yet, I rise To a forever of strength and jubilee As a star, how beautiful I would be JUST LIKE A PHOENIX, I ARISE.
