You left my spirits - beaten down My self-worth - had cratered in the ground You ruined me! You wrecked me, When you left me What was left of me, Was damaged goods - to be found. Like a tree in spring - from the dirt I’ll rise I’ll become a SKYSCRAPER - seen from afar as I shine I’ll be strong, I will touch the sky even eagles will look up at me - as they fly by I’ll be a skyscraper Built from the wreckage left behind I’ll be the phoenix — watch me rise From the flames - into the sky You did enough damage - to bring a building down Like a fallen seed - my roots will grow back in the ground I’ll rebuild my temple, - one stone at a time higher than the clouds — seen from afar as I shine Like a tree in spring - from the dirt I’ll rise I’ll become a SKYSCRAPER - seen from afar as I shine I’ll be strong, I will touch the sky even eagles will look up at me - as they fly by I’ll be a skyscraper Built from the wreckage left behind I’ll be the phoenix — watch me rise From the flames - into the sky I don’t want to waste another breath - on thoughts of you I’m not going to cry anymore - on memories of you I want to let it all out, - so it’s over, so it’s through A stronger foundation – loving me, loving the new I was broken, beaten, let down, Leveled to the ground You blew it all away I’ll be back Better and stronger standing taller and longer Above it all one day I might be small now, but soon I’ll stand tall The biggest spirit in the center of it all Like a tree in spring - from the dirt I’ll rise I’ll become a SKYSCRAPER - seen from afar as I shine I’ll be strong, I will touch the sky even eagles will look up at me - as they fly by I’ll be a skyscraper Built from the wreckage left behind I’ll be the phoenix — watch me rise From the flames - into the sky I’m a skyscraper, (skyscraper) From the roots I’ll rise (skyscraper) I’m strong, I touch the sky (skyscraper) Even eagles will look up at me as they fly by I’m a skyscraper, (skyscraper) I’ll be the phoenix — watch me rise (skyscraper) from the ruins you left behind I’ll be the phoenix — watch me rise (skyscraper) From the flames - into the sky (skyscraper) I’m a skyscraper! (skyscraper!) Standing tall! (standing tall!) Unbreakable! (unbreakable!) After it all! (after it all!) I won’t let you win This is not my end,
