Album: Enter Stellar Dreams
Song: "Phoenix"
By Steve Simon 2013
Vocal (female)

(inspired by Oma)
(a song ... not her life. )

(1st Verse)
1 Sometimes my past seems
2 to hold me tight within its jaws
3 and when I flee to escape them
4 I'm caught between its claws

5 I don't look towards -- the 'distant' stars
6 to define (just) who I am
7 the strength we all need ... to rise again
8 Is surely within our hands

(Pre-Chorus)
1 I'm born again -- from my own ashes
2 always fertile and fecund
3 I love the heat -- and every morning
4 I arise to a new dawning
5 my eyes greet the rising sun

(Chorus)
1 I'm A Phoenix, A Flaming Phoenix
2 I can't be consumed by my own flames
3 I'm A Phoenix, A Flaming Phoenix
4 and I'm exhumed by me each day
5 I'm A Phoenix, A Flaming Phoenix
6 I am reborn -- that is my way
7 A Phoenix, A Flaming Phoenix
8 I am reborn -- every single day

(2nd Verse)
1 I've been burned by love before
2 and I'm sure I will be again
3 my special memories -- I will restore them
4 I'm certain -- It's not if but when

5 don't look forward -- to future times
6 to define (just) who you are
7 Now's the time ... to rise again
8 to lose all those scary scars

(Repeat Pre-Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
