[Verse 1] I'm slipping two steps back for every one I take I keep trying but I always fall behind Dark skies follow every move I make Searching for a little peace of mind [Pre Chorus] I know It's not forever So I'll open up my eyes Right now I may have fallen But I know I'm sure to rise [Chorus] I will rise Like a Phoenix rising high I will soar Flying high above the sky I will never give up fighting As the Heavens hear my cry I will rise above the ashes Like a Phoenix rising high [Verse 2] It's a hard and well worn road That leads us to the shore It might be dark and lonely But we've taken it before [Pre Chorus] I know It's not forever So I'll open up my eyes Right now I may have fallen But I know I'm sure to rise [Chorus] I will rise Like a Phoenix rising high I will soar Flying high above the sky I will never give up fighting As the Heavens hear my cry I will rise above the ashes Like a Phoenix rising high [Bridge] I know It's not forever So I'll open up my eyes Right now I may have fallen But I know I'm sure to rise [Chorus] I will rise Like a Phoenix rising high I will soar Flying high above the sky I will never give up fighting As the Heavens hear my cry I will rise above the ashes Like a Phoenix rising high [Chorus] I will rise Like a Phoenix rising high I will soar Flying high above the sky I will never give up fighting As the Heavens hear my cry I will rise above the ashes Like a Phoenix rising high
