Phoenix

Lyrics

I am your daughter carved out of your stone
 I'm the seed that you dropped I'm the marrow of your bone
 ♪
 and I am the one who asked no questions
 ♪
 Designed to love you unconditional
 ♪
 I sprouted my shoots and I waited for your hands
 and I 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
 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 armor you just let me go
 Into the night to battle with your ghosts
 ♪
 If I could go back there I'd be my own angel
 ♪
 She won't buy you a mockingbird, she's incapable
 So hush little baby and close your tired eyes
 There are no answers so hush now hushabye
 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 armor you just let me go
 Into the night to battle with your ghosts
 So I gathered up my sorrows and I took them on my tongue
 and sang them 'til the morning When the sun came in so strong
 I sang them 'til the daybreak and that's how I became strong
