CHORUS

Phoenix in the fire, you’ve got to learn how to fly.
You can lose your soul giving up on you.
You’ve got to chose choose to live or die.
‘Cause everybody has a story to tell.
If you learn your lesson well, you might be Phoenix in the fire
But you can learn how to fly

VERSE 1

I had the weight of the world on my shoulder, living a lie like I’d never get older.
Taking the chances led me to nowhere. What was I looking for?
I was wasting my dime with the time: cold hearted.
So many chances and never got started.
Hoping and praying, moving so slowly. What was I waiting for?

BRIDGE

I was the Phoenix in the fire. I had to learn how to fly.
Almost lost my soul giving up on me. I had to choose to live or die
Everybody has a story to tell. If you learn your lesson well,
You might be a Phoenix in the fire, but you can learn how to fly.

VERSE 2

There’s a time in every journey – you never know if late its or its early –
Take it from me, “If you see the bridge burning, don’t look the other way.”
‘Cause you only get one chance to live this life.
You got to find something to give this life.
Or tossing and turning thirty years later… nothing to show for it.

Repeat CHORUS

BRIDGE (2x)

If you’re a Phoenix in the fire, you’d better learn how to fly.
Don’t you lose your soul giving up you.
Choose to live not die.
‘Cause everybody has a story to tell.
If you learn your lesson well, you might be a Phoenix in the fire,
But you can learn how to fly.
