Lyrics Jessi Colter

Jessi Colter

The Phoenix Rises

If I give my heart to you, are you gonna break it

If I give my hand to you, are you gonna take it

If I give my life to you, are you gonna take it

And break it into a million crystals

Makin' me desperate for you, for you

Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises

Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises

Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises

Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises

New beginnings are so hard to find

New beginnings are mountains to climb

Blue sky over the horizon

But the sheer cliffs of copper pierce my mind

Emerald-green rivers speak quietly

And the black nights bring stars in my eyes

Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises

Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises

Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises

Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises

If I give my heart to you, are you gonna break it

If I give my hand to you, are you gonna take it

If I give my life to you, are you gonna take it

And break it into a million crystals

Makin' me desperate for you, for you

Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises

Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises

Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises

Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises
