I got too close to the sun before I Realised my wings were turning to ashes soon I was going down fast and then I knew Something would have to change if I ever was To see my home again in this life So, I turned it around 'fore it was gone I turned it around 'fore it was gone
There's a whole lot of work to be done, I thought, This could be the time for me to change it all at once I heard a sound, coming from deep within my heart I didn't shy away, I just took my time and I would wait For the storm to come, and wait it out Wait it out till it was gone Wait it out till it was gone Then I turned it around, and it begun
So I dug deep, into the ground And I dug myself a hole the size of a man And laid me down, ready to let the fire cleanse my soul Out of the ashes, out of bones Like a phoenix, I will rise up, rise up Burn it down, then rise again As I dropped deep, onto the ground, I learned to walk again, like my fellow men No flying high, but the seeds I found, made me hear the sound So clearly, I fought and found myself in and 'round the fire Burning, out of the ashes, free again to breathe ♪ Oh my sun, my glorious sun, I will sing my songs for you alone, Till my days are done I won't stray from the path that you have put me on I'll follow my heart and I'll do my part Until you bring me home And I will sing, sing my songs for you alone
