Dragons hide in wide open spaces
Breathing fire through a smiling face
When the smoke has cleared
Turn and face the fate you feared and
(chorus)
Rise, ashes still in your eyes
You laugh or you cry, whatever gets you by
Like the phoenix, fly
Your heart burned in the desert wind
It blew your mind and your innocence
Go and curse the sun
Or become the stronger one
(chorus)
There once lived a girl
Who could not close her eyes at night
Fearing darker worlds
She slept days only dreamin' of light
In the dark, cries a tear for wings
Like the lark, in her cage, she sings
Turn the world upside down
'til the hope you lost is found and
(chorus x2)
