The Phoenix Rises

Jessi Colter


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
