Phoenix Rising

 

Phoenix Rising

I will rise up from the ashes
and I'll blow them all away
get a new set of matches
cuz the fire's gonna stay

The Phoenix is rising
there'll be no compromising
get out of my way
cuz I'm here to stay

The Phoenix is rising
there'll be no compromising 
get out of my way
cuz I'm here to stay

No one's gonna keep me down
No more tears to make me drown
Fire's gonna keep me hot
giving it all I've got

Don't even try to put it out
Don't leave any room for doubt
I'm on fire and so strong 
Right on top where I belong

The Phoenix is rising
there'll be no compromising
get out of my way
cuz I'm here to stay

The Phoenix is rising
there'll be no compromising
get out of my way
cuz I'm here to stay



Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'm in it for the long haul
Been through enough so now I'm tough
Don't mess with me I can be rough

The Phoenix is rising
there'll be no compromising
get out of my way
cuz I'm here to stay

The Phoenix is rising
to even the score
Enough is enough
I can't take anymore

The Phoenix is rising
there'll be no compromising
get out of my way
cuz I'm here to stay
