The Phoenix Heart

Some think love is a wish that meets every need
Some feel it is a blade that leads your heart to bleed 
The hearts that are blinded by love to the very core
Are the ones that can’t seem to see anything more

It’s the soul afraid of leaping 
that never learns to soar,
It’s the heart whose faith the sea is keeping 
That never sees the shore

It’s the heart too shy to speak
That never learns to sing
It’s the hearts whom fear looking weak 
That never does anything

When the journey has been too lonely 
And the world gets too cold
And you start believing love is only
For the beautiful and the bold

Remember when dead after one final clash
The phoenix rises again from under the ash 
Bigger and brighter than ever before
All wounds are gone and it’ll be mighty forevermore.
