Poem
You were my churning fire But, I must reach to the surface of the water You were my burning desire Let’s dive into the tidal waves asunder, asunder Now, you bring me to my knees And tell me to be at ease...at ease... I wanna break free I wanna break free From a money hungry society I wanna break free I wanna break free From the shadows below me Shed away the shallow words of worthlessness Set me free from despondency so languished For, I see the midnight light amongst the darkness Sing to me your lyrics of a fire extinguished Instead, be a burning ember of glory Anguish will disappear in a flurry, in a hurry, don’t you worry, no need to scurry I will rise from the ashes like a Phoenix Like a Phoenix Like a Phoenix I noticed the river’s wide, the river’s wide and I saw you cry I don’t know why, don’t know why I went through the dark tide, the dark tide, just to watch you die Now, you have wings to fly, fly, fly Now, you bring me to my knees And tell me to be at ease...at ease... I wanna break free I wanna break free From a money hungry society I wanna break free I wanna break free From the shadows below me Shed away the shallow words of worthlessness Set me free from despondency so languished For, I see the midnight light amongst the darkness Sing to me your lyrics of a fire extinguished Instead, be a burning ember of glory Anguish will disappear in a flurry, in a hurry, don’t you worry, no need to scurry I will rise from the ashes like a Phoenix Like a Phoenix Like a Phoenix You were my fire, my fire, my fire This is a temporary dwelling of ire Mmmm, I keep on going forward, I keep on going forward, to keep my mind occupied and my heart inspired sincerely I’m never going backward cuz I moved on with so much effort - haven’t you heard? I’m a liberty bird in the sheltering mountains of tranquility Now, you bring me to my knees And tell me to be at ease...at ease... I wanna break free I wanna break free From a money hungry society I wanna break free I wanna break free From the shadows below me... Shed away the shallow words of worthlessness Set me free from despondency so languished For, I see the midnight light amongst the darkness Sing to me your lyrics of a fire extinguished Instead, be a burning ember of glory Anguish will disappear in a flurry, in a hurry, don’t you worry, no need to scurry I will rise from the ashes like a Phoenix Like a Phoenix Like a Phoenix Haven’t you heard of the dusk’s tale? Haven’t you heard of the dawn’s trail? You need to roam in it...it is full of elements of irreplaceable joy You need to dive into the book of my sorrows when I was a young boy I wanna break free I wanna break free I wanna break free From the shadows below me From the deep end, We need a mend To comprehend who we are And not offend The ones we loved so far I noticed the river’s wide I don’t know why I went through the dark tide To have wings to fly Like a Phoenix in the sky Like a Phoenix in the sky Like a Phoenix, passing by Let’s be on fire tonight from on high
