1. PHOENIX RISING

Day by day, watching you disappear
Wishing that you were still here beside me
On my own, swimming against the tide
There's nobody on my side but your memory

Then you'll rise right before my eyes
On wings that fill the sky
Like a pheonix rising
Like a pheonix rising

Wings on fire, tearing into the night
Screaming into the light of another day
Carry me out the hurricane
Into the smoke and flame and we'll fly away

And we'll rise right before their eyes
On wings that fill the sky
Like a pheonix rising
Like a pheonix rising

Higher, higher, hear the thunder roar from above
Fire, fire, fire makes me whole
Into the smoke and flame and we'll fly away

And we'll rise right before their eyes
On wings that fill the sky
Like a pheonix rising
Like a pheonix rising
Wings on fire, tearing in to the night
And we'll fly away


2. THE EDGE

The edge, I'm walking a fine line
To young to be waiting at stop signs
I'm on fire and I can't cool down
And I'm ready to roll right out of this town
'Cause there's something in me you can't learn in school
They teach it on the street, it's the only rule

It's the edge

The edge, I'm dying in the classroom
Tell me why should I dance to your tune
Keep your plans for my security
Because there's only one thing taking care of me
And it's harder than steel, it cuts like a knife
It's the way I run, it's a way of life

The edge

You can't hold me down forever
What doesn't kill me makes me strong
If you can't take it, you can't make it
Out here on the edge for very long
And it's harder than steel, it cuts like a knife
It's the way I run, it's a way of life

The edge
