about

I wrote this song about rebirthing oneself - that it's not possible to rise to new heights of your living experience without thoroughly feeling and healing the lowest depth experiences life has brought you. Fiery guitar riffs, driving ethnic percussion, and wild indigenous flute accompany my vocals, that are joined by exotic harmonies on the chorus, giving the feeling of a bird trying to take off in flight.

lyrics

VERSE 1:
I can’t rise until I fall thoroughly
And I can’t fly until I die.

LIFT 1:
We start out life in a shell
I felt mine breaking down around me
I thought I was going through hell
Instead I found a lighter way to be

CHORUS:
I am a phoenix rising
A servant of the sun
I am a phoenix rising
Must leave the past in ashes, everyone


VERSE 2:
My first flight just might leave me shaking.
Is it because of fragmented shells still on my wing?

LIFT 2:
There’s nothing left to cling to,
There’s no one else to be
The sun is what I’m awakening to
As I let go, I feel my soul set free

CHORUS:
I am a phoenix rising …
