Phoenix Lyrics - Nelly Furtado

[Verse 1] 

Mother 

Just lay your head down 

You been running through flames of the candle 

And your done 

It's time to find your wings again 

Turn your face towards the sun 

Some battles can't be won 

[Chorus] 

Like a phoenix 

Rising from the ashes 

Like a phoenix 

Rising from the flame 

[Post-Chorus] 

You're gonna be alright 

You're gonna be alright 

You're gonna be alright again 

[Verse 2] 

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 

Then maybe you'd be whole again 

But everyone falls down 

[Chorus] 

But, like a phoenix 

Rising from the ashes 

Like a phoenix 

Rising from the pain 

[Post-Chorus] 

You're gonna be alright 

You're gonna be alright 

You're gonna be alright again 

[Bridge] 

You build a castle in the clouds 

Mind the fire burning down 

But you're still standing anyway 

When all you needed from the start 

Was waiting there inside your heart to be born again 

[Chorus] 

Like a phoenix 

Like a phoenix 

You're gonna be alright 

You're gonna be alright 

You're gonna be alright again, alright again 

You're gonna be alright 

You're gonna be alright 

You're gonna be alright again
