I have seen the smoke block out the sky,
Crash-landed attempts to fly.
While the smell of burning plastic is filling the air.
I’ve been broken into smithereens,
‘Till my dreams are drenched with gasoline.
Watch it burn until it feels like there is nothing left.
And as I fall I’m whispering a prayer.
Close my eyes & see You there.
Reminding me your love will never die, never die.
I will rise,
and rise again
from the ashes,
like a phoenix
I will rise when the world is burning down around me.
In the light
i’m brought back to life
from the ashes,
like a phoenix
I will rise when the world is burning down around me.
there’s a photograph inside my head
Of a desert wasteland, painted red
But that was then, and i know it’s not over yet.
But then i feel the lift of air beneath me.
Touch my lips, my breath’s returning
at 10,000 feet You say:
“Just be who you are.”
Then You stamped Your Name across my heart
And held me close inside Your arms
reminding me that love will never die, never die.
We will rise, from the ashes. We will rise, from the ashes.
