Phoenix, Reborn from Ashes
I used to be selfish , narrow minded
I never knew what it was like to truly leave my own wishes behind n-
till my grandma was ill and crows took flight
I hated my sister all my life, but I realized
she needed someone who would protect her at night
From the yelling, the crying, the sadness, the fright
And I also found a love, another light
All three I wanted to desperately keep by me away from their plights
To sustain the handsome flame that’s glowing bright
But it had already died that midsummers night
I vowed the rest of my time to be more kind n -
To seal the darkness, a new hope is ignited
