Uncut Pages - Phoenix from the Ashes Lyrics

She broke the windows
Starved the hollow buildings
Staring and sullen
Tattered, torn
Battered, weather worn
Still standing

Resurgam
She will rise again
Find her heart
Find a new name
Like a kite
Falling fast
How she dived
But at the last was caught again

Something bubbles up within
A gasp from the lifeless
Oh phoenix from the ashes
Your past is burning
Scrubbing anger from your skin
Toiling and tending and
Painting aspiration
As the tide is turning

Old superstitions hang like mist on the river
But we will find a place to cross safely over

Resurgam
She will rise again
Find her heart
Find a new name
Like a kite
Falling fast
How she dived
Losing height
But at the last was caught again

As she spirals to her rest
The currents tell her story
A reminder
The pigeons have returned to roost
Cormorants skim the water
The troubled water
