Day by day, watching you disappear
Wishing that you were still here beside me
On my own, swimming against the tide
There's nobody on my side but your memory

Chorus 1:
Then you'll rise right before my eyes
On wings that fill the sky
Like a phoenix rising
Like a phoenix rising

Wings on fire, tearing into the night
Screaming into the light of another day
Carry me out of the hurricane
Into the smoke and flame and we'll fly away

Chorus 2:
And we'll rise right before their eyes
On wings that fill the sky
Like a phoenix rising
Like a phoenix rising

Higher, higher, hear the thunder roar from above
Fire, fire, fire make me whole

Repeat Chorus 2

Wings on fire, tearing into the night
And we'll fly away
