Scott Stilwell – Phoenix Lyrics



PHOENIX
©2009 Scott A. Stilwell
Nash Monkey Music

VERSE I
The poison was sweet on my lips,
With each toxic drop, the honey dripped.
I was filled with the things that make you fearless.

Blinded by the chemicals,
I stumbled through the daily stuff.
Then I felt a hand reach down and you pulled me clear, you pulled me clear – –

CHORUS
I am a Phoenix;
risen up from the ashes of my former self,
with a lot of help.
I am a Phoenix;
risen up from the ashes of my former life,
and now I shine so bright –
I am a Phoenix

VERSE II
Face down in fear one sunny day,
all of the friends just walked away;
leaving me to figure it all out.

I opened a book, I found a place;
stepped out of the mire and into grace.
But it’s a lot of work to stay right here, to stay right here – –

CHORUS
