The Phoenix Rises
Jessi Colter Lyrics

If I give my heart to you, are you gonna break it
If I trust you with my deepest emotions, will you cause me pain and heartbreak?

If I give my hand to you, are you gonna take it
If I reach out to you for support and connection, will you accept or reject me?

If I give my life to you, are you gonna take it
If I commit myself to you, will you value and cherish my existence or exploit and abuse me?

And break it into a million crystals
And shatter my being into countless fragments, leaving me vulnerable and shattered.

Makin' me desperate for you, for you
Making me crave your presence and approval, even if it comes at a great cost to my own wellbeing.

Outta the ashes, the Phoenix rises
From the ruins and destruction, a new and stronger version of myself emerges.

New beginnings are so hard to find
Starting over and creating a fresh start is a daunting and difficult task.

New beginnings are mountains to climb
Achieving a new start is a challenging and uphill journey filled with obstacles and hardships.

Blue sky over the horizon
A new opportunity and hope for a better future lies ahead.

But the sheer cliffs of copper pierce my mind
However, the overwhelming anxiety and fear of the unknown can hinder my ability to pursue that new beginning.

Emerald-green rivers speak quietly
Nature offers peace and serenity, a gentle reminder that life continues on despite hardships.

And the black nights bring stars in my eyes
In the darkest and most challenging moments, I find hope and beauty.
