Rising Phoenix

rise like a bird
to rise to your word
flying close to the sun 
so I can burn
set ablaze the troubles of today
so tomorrow I can learn
it's not about what is said
it's about what is heard
it's only human to question one's own birth
it's the same as questioning your worth
if you think you have it bad
trust me some have it worse
