Antje Duvekot - Phoenix Lyrics
I am your daughter carved out of your stoneI'm the seed that you dropped I'm the marrow of your boneand I am the one who asked no questionsDesigned to love you unconditionalI sprouted my shoots and I waited for your handsand I laid down my roots but the summer came and wentand I looked to the sun, longed to feel your touchBut you knew nothing of unconditional loveAnd I rose up like a phoenix rose up from your ashYou just turned your back and I'll never understandThough I had no armor you just let me goInto the night to battle with your ghostsIf I could go back there I'd be my own angelShe won't buy you a mockingbird, she's incapableSo hush little baby and close your tired eyesThere are no answers so hush now hushabyeAnd I rose up like a phoenix rose up from your ashYou just turned your back and I'll never understandThough I had no armor you just let me goInto the night to battle with your ghostsSo I gathered up my sorrows and I took them on my tongueand sang them 'til the morning When the sun came in so strongI sang them 'til the daybreak and that's how I became strong
