Phoenix

I’m looking for that recipe here
But tell me
How do you make lemonade
from two old cans of beer
And I’m wonderin’
Should I run
Or take that job at Trader Joes
When everything I’ve ever known is slippin’ away like
Sand between my toes....

She said
When you get ready
To get up and take your stand
Your whole world will crumble
Like dust in your hands
The buildings will fall
And a cold wind will blow and
You’ll rise again like a Phoenix
Once you let go

Well I’ve got one foot in the future
And two feet in the past
And I’m 3 feet deep in broken things
That were never meant to last
And even though you see me here
I’m a million miles away
And I don’t know where and I don’t know why
But I know that I can’t stay

She said
When you get ready
To get up and take your stand
Your whole world will crumble
Like dust in your hands
The buildings will fall
And a cold wind will blow and
You’ll rise again like a Phoenix
Once you let go
