Antje Duvekot - Phoenix lyrics

rate me

I am your daughter

Carved out of your stone

I'm the seed that you dropped

I'm the marrow of your bone

I am the one who asked no questions

Designed to love you unconditional!

I sprouted my shoots and waited for your hands

And laid down my roots

But the summer came and went

and I looked to the sun, longed to feel your touch

But you knew nothing of unconditional love

Chorus:

And I rose up like a phoenix rose up from your ash

You just turned your back and I'll never understand

Though I had no armour you just let me go

Into the night to battle with your ghosts

If I could go back there, be my own angel

She won't buy a mockingbird, she's incapable

So hush little baby, close your tired eyes

Still are no answers, so hush now hushabye

Chorus:

And I rose up like a phoenix rose up from your ash

You just turned your back and I'll never understand

Though I had no armour you just let me go

Into the night to battle with your ghosts

So I gathered up my sorrows

And I took it on my tongue

And sang until the morning when the sun came in so strong

I sang until the daybreak that's how I became strong!
