Sisterhood Of The Phoenix

We are all phoenixes we will arise from the faded fire
Shaking the grey ash from our plumage feel our desire
Stand back in amazement as we spring from the hearth
Stretching wings of fire we break free from this earth
For all the time we've been nurturing ourselves in pain
Now using that knowledge we will spiral upward once again
We've battled through our heartaches learning as we go
Witness what failure has made of us watch the fire flow

Through the pains of rejection, the loss of our own pride
Watch as we shoot ever higher in this our freedom ride
Feel the spirit of us as we take off into the blessed night
How beautiful are we aren't you stunned by our fiery flight
For too long we've waited restless within our own soul
Now we bathe in the fire to make ourselves quite whole
The endless tears we've shed have washed away the dust
Now into heaven we'll soar feel the power of our thrust

Stand back in wonder and witness what you have wrought
For in hearts truth our souls found the fires we'd sought
With each new heartbreak the power slowly surely grew
Until now as phoenixes we spring newly arisen before you
Our power of self-renewal is awesome in its majestic way
By the heat of these our flames your manly hearts we sway
We breathe in the fire and release our spirits to fly high
Our wings of flame are so bright they even make angels sigh
