Phoenix Rising

Phoenix Rising
Words and music by Cathleen Trezza

in the air you can hear its thunder
through the rain it comes soaring down and
burns its light all thru the cloudy sky
with a blaze of fire and light it
chases away the shadowy night
you can see the phoenix burning bright in the sky

Chorus
phoenix rising here comes the sun
(beating like a big drum rising up like a flame from
river of light shining he is rising
he lives again beating like a drum
coming up with the coming up with the sun)

(phoenix burning with its fire
blazing heart is yearning up to the sky
as he is rising he lives again he is rising up with the new day)

ooh
as the dark falls all around and
deathly clouds bring mighty rains
the fire bird takes in its final breath
who could ever know that it
would rise again from the darkest pit
but that is what the phoenix did in the end

CHORUS

ooh
with a blaze of fire and lightning
rising from the ash and soot the
phoenix finds it way up to the sky
thunder and might it burns its light and
fills the sky with bronze and white
transformed to new life and so it begins again

rising up so high ah casting its light
phoenix rising here comes the sun

CHORUS

ooh
in the air you can hear its thunder
through the rain it comes soaring down
its rising
with a blaze of fire and lightning
rising from the ash and soot
its rising
here comes the sun
here comes the sun
here comes the sun
ooohh
