Like from a former life, memories still arise Had a body full of power but a duller mind I thought I knew it all, acted like a prick Ran against the walls and into all trouble I could find I tried and failed so many times But I keep on standing up again Fell on my face time after time But I'm never giving up Out of the ashes the phoenix will rise Stronger than before and twice as wise From the ashes the phoenix will rise Hardened by the past, the future's shining bright Stand up when you fall, before walking we all crawl We're growing up in stages, no one gets born knowin' all Patience ain't no friend of mine, still good things take their time Some lessons are expensive others won't cost a single dime I try and fail time after time It's the art of learning right from wrong One lesson hurts, another's vile What doesn't kill us, makes us strong Out of the ashes the phoenix will rise Stronger than before and twice as wise From the ashes the phoenix will rise Hardened by the past, the future's shining bright Out of the ashes the phoenix will rise Stronger than before and twice as wise From the ashes the phoenix will rise Hardened by the past, the future's shining bright Out of the ashes, From the ashes
