Just lay your head down
You been burning both ends of the candle
And you're done
It's time to find your wings again
And turn your face towards the sun
Some battles can't be won
Like a phoenix
Rising from the ashes
Like a phoenix
Rising from the flame
You're gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright again
Oh, brother
Your hands are tired
You've been holding the world up
And you're losing your grip
If you knew now what you knew then
Maybe you'd be whole again
But everyone falls down
Like a phoenix
Rising from the ashes
Like a phoenix
Rising from the flame
You're gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright again
You build a castle in the clouds
And then the fire burned you down
But you're still standing anyway
When all you needed from the start
Was waiting there inside your heart to be born again
Like a phoenix
Like a phoenix
You're gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright again
You're gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright again
Mother Just lay your head down You been burning both ends of the candle And you're done It's time to find your wings again And turn your face towards the sun Some battles can't be won Like a phoenix Rising from the ashes Like a phoenix Rising from the flame You're gonna be alright You're gonna be alright You're gonna be alright again Oh, brother Your hands are tired You've been holding the world up And you're losing your grip If you knew now what you knew then Maybe you'd be whole again But everyone falls down Like a phoenix Rising from the ashes Like a phoenix Rising from the flame You're gonna be alright You're gonna be alright You're gonna be alright again You build a castle in the clouds And then the fire burned you down But you're still standing anyway When all you needed from the start Was waiting there inside your heart to be born again Like a phoenix Like a phoenix You're gonna be alright You're gonna be alright You're gonna be alright again You're gonna be alright You're gonna be alright You're gonna be alright again Explain Request ×
