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.

Like a phoenix

Rising from the ashes

Like a phoenix

Rising from the flame

You're gonna be alright

You're gonna be alright

You're gonna be alright again.

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.

Like a phoenix

Rising from the ashes

Like a phoenix

Rising from the flame

You're gonna be alright

You're gonna be alright

You're gonna be alright again.

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.

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.
