Phoenix

I believe I can fly...

Rise Above 

My head is in the clouds, praying to the one above me

Can’t stop now, I’m about to get the victory

Letting go of the old and grabbing on to the new

When they had me, they didn’t know what to do

They didn’t know, I was this clever

They didn’t know, that I was a treasure

They were so busy, beating me down, to the ground

That my smile, turned upside down

You can’t break, what’s not broken

It was wings that I grew

While you were out joking

Since you couldn’t recognize me from the ground

Look up at the sky

I became a Phoenix

Because all I want to do is fly
