Wasn't waiting, wasn't ready Life was loud but felt so empty Every step was set in stone Till the wind rewrote my road Like a flare across the sky It came without a reason why Didn't knock, didn't speak Just lit the dark inside of me No signs, no map, no warning shot But something changed, or maybe not Just enough to shift the weight To find a crack in all the grey Like a firebird breaking through the haze Turning silence into something brave I didn't see it, didn't plan But now I'm not who I began Every scar and every word Led me straight to what occurred Not a person, not a place But something flew into this space A firebird, unnamed, unheard But I felt it, and I stirred Could've been a moment's breath Or a thought I hadn't thought yet Could've been a hand I held Or just a way I finally fell Could've been a dream I lost That came back wrapped in different cloth Didn't need a reason why Just gave me back the will to try Not everything is meant to last But some things free you from the past And just like that, the chains gave way And I woke up in a different day Like a firebird breaking through the haze Turning silence into something brave I didn't see it, didn't plan But now I'm not who I began Every scar and every word Led me straight to what occurred Not a person, not a place But something flew into this space A firebird, unnamed, unheard But I felt it, and I stirred You don't always know the second it shifts The breath between the fall and the lift Sometimes it's a whisper, sometimes it roars But nothing's quite the same anymore No wings, no face, no voice, no name But everything was not the same After that Like a firebird breaking through the haze Turning silence into something brave It found me low, but made me rise Like the moment fate rewrites your life Every scar and every word Led me straight to what occurred Not a person, not a place But something flew into this space A firebird, no need for a word Just the feeling that I'd been heard It came and went, no need to stay But I'm still flying anyway
