FOR BEST RESULTS, PLAY LOUD!

lyrics

When the sun goes down
For the very last time
Who will hold my hand & say goodbye?
When the going gets tough
And I’m all alone
Who will be my friend as time goes by?
As the coldness draws in to me
The flames of love begin to die
As memories stoke the fire again,
I begin to cry
My strength has all but left me
Victim to sorrow and despair
I cry for help, I cry for love
But no one seems to care

Lift me up
Lift me higher
I need a helping hand
I’ve loved and lost
I don’t know why
I just don’t understand

When I close my eyes
And I think of you
The thought of you beside me makes my life go on
But when I’m all alone
Now I’m all alone
The knowledge of your love for me has gone
You can’t turn back the clock but I still try to
Living in the past never today
Dreaming [dreaming] is the only thing left for me
Nightmares are the price I have to pay

Lift me up
Lift me higher
I need a helping hand
I’ve loved and lost
I don’t know why
I just don’t understand

Maybe I should’a been stronger (maybe I)
Maybe I should’a been weaker
Maybe I should’a been all the things I’m not (all the things I’m not)
Maybe I should’na loved you (maybe I)
And told you all the things that I told you
Maybe I deserved everything I got (everything I got)

Lift me up
Lift me higher
Through the clouds into the sky
The fire’s dead
Long live the fire
Fly my Phoenix, fly!

Come on now and fly!

Fly!
Phoenix fly, come on Phoenix fly
Phoenix fly, come on Phoenix fly
Phoenix fly, come on Phoenix fly
Phoenix fly, yeah, yeah

When I lift my head
From the pillow each day
And turn my face to the light of the rising sun
I’m born again
I have the chance again
To do all the same old things I’ve always done
Why does wisdom come so slowly
In matters of the heart
Each new day, I have the chance
To make a brand new start
To rise up from the ashes
To build a brand new fire
Bigger, better, than before
Stronger, hotter, higher

Lift me up
Lift me higher
There’s no time now for goodbye
It’s time for me
To stretch my wings
It’s time for me to fly
Lift me up
Lift me higher
Through the clouds into the sky
It’s time for me
To stretch my wings
Fly my Phoenix, fly!

Come on Phoenix fly, Phoenix fly
Come on Phoenix fly, Phoenix fly
Come on Phoenix fly, Phoenix fly
Come on Phoenix fly, Phoenix fly

Fly!
