Like a Phoenix

Like a Phoenix

There’s a fire in a field of corn

And it’s been burning since I was born

And no one is rushing to put this fire out

It’s fuelled by love

And contained by doubt

And there in the distance and here in between

Don’t let the love of your life be a dream

For Heaven is waiting to carry me home

They’re there in the distance and here on my own

Saying, “Don’t waste your anger

Or squander your pain

Let it lovingly teach you

Not become your ball and chain”

For the pain and the passion won’t mean a thing

If I don’t rise from the ashes like a phoenix with wings

Rise from the ashes like a phoenix with wings

There’s a fire in a field of corn

And it’s been burning since I was born

And no one is rushing to put this fire out

It’s fuelled by love

And contained by doubt

And there in the distance and here in between

Don’t let the love of your life be a dream

Won’t let my anger keep me in chains

I’ll face all the pain

Then commit it to the flame

For while it’s unconscious, unowned and unnamed

It controls all my actions

Prolongs all my pain

And all this evolving won’t mean a thing

If I don’t rise from the ashes like a phoenix with wings

Come rise from the ashes like a phoenix with Wings

There’s a fire in a field of corn
