Phoenix Songtext
von Souleye

The page is clear and wide open
I give thanks to the blank canvas
Where there is no damage
Clear channeling
I saw the light and started listening
Used to be free handwriting with a pen
Now it′s more like fingers dancing on a keypad
Space bar return and delete that or keep it
I found that pain is always hiding behind secrets

Shh don't tell nobody though
We′ve been taught
Placed in this paradox of overchoice
Over simple things
Baby I'm a simpleton
Nope I'm a man who knows he is a rock
Who hits the water and watches
The water start rippling


And while I contemplate
What it is I′m seeking
Who I am becoming
Who I used to be
I′m like a snake
I shed my skin
And start all over
As the day begins

And the smoke cleared on the hill
The pain was washed away
Phoenix is revealed
Flying into a new day
And the smoke cleared on the hill
The pain was washed away
A Phoenix is revealed
Flying into a new day

Little Julio
My nickname on the schoolyard
Voted class clown
Limitless energy
I used to run around
Nothing could hold me down
It was tough at times
I'm not gonna lie


When there was chaos
Chaos would often multiply
Tons of bickering
No one was listening
Teachers were overwhelmed
My bigger brother
Was the captain of everything
I had a clever mind
Witty and on my toes
Ready for anything
For whatever goes up
Comes back down

I hide inside a cloud
In hopes to share my light
Dappling through like God′s legs
What a sight
And while I contemplate
What it is I'm seeking
Who I am becoming
Who I used to be
I′m like a snake
I shed my skin
And start all over
As the day begins

And the smoke cleared on a hill
The pain was washed away
A Phoenix is revealed
Flying into a new day
And the smoke cleared on a hill
The pain was washed away
A Phoenix is revealed
Flying into a new day
So dear wonderful all mighty mystery
I wonder why it took so long for this to be
I guess it is because time is a construct
Created between two
To make something term to one

Ah yeah I want to go visit Thailand
And untie all that does bind me
I'm grateful for my time on this planet
I recommend it carpe diem
Meaning to seize the moment
We got us stories
Allegories some missing categories
I′m walking on through this labyrinth
Forgot what it was
Remembered once again
What's waiting on the other side
Probably a friend

And while I contemplate
What it is I'm seeking
Who I am becoming
Who I used to be
I′m like a snake I shed my skin
And start all over
As the day begins
Never say never
It′s already done
You'll live forever
Forever one

And the smoke cleared on a hill
The pain was washed away
A Phoenix is revealed
Flying into a new day
And the smoke cleared
The pain was washed away
A phoenix is revealed
Flying into a new day
