Nelly Furtado - Phoenix

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Mother, just lay your head down
You've been burning both ends of the candle and you're done
It's time to find your wings again and turn your face towards the sun
Some battles can't be won

{Chorus}
Like a phoenix
Rising from the ashes
Like a phoenix
Rising from the flame

{Post-Chorus}
You're gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright again

{Verse 2}
Oh, brother, your hands are tired
You've been holding the world up and you're losing your grip
If you knew now what you knew then, maybe you'd be whole again
But everyone falls down

{Chorus}
Like a phoenix
Rising from the ashes
Like a phoenix
Rising from the flame

{Post-Chorus}
You're gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright again

{Bridge}
You built a castle in the clouds
But then the fire burned it down
You're still standing anyway
All you needed from the start
Was waiting there inside your heart to be born again

{Chorus}
Like a phoenix
Like a phoenix
You're gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright again
You're gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright again
