Phoenix Rising

Have you seen the phoenix rising?
The dreamers of the tribes, they saw her long ago
She would rise when the youth were fighting
She would rise when morale was low

So, if you thought that our spirit was broken
If you thought that our well has run dry
We've heard the words the old ones have spoken
And, we've seen the signs in our lives

Oh, we're rising up, Phoenix rising up
Oh, we're rising up, Phoenix rising up

They must have seen the slave ships coming
They must have known their time was nigh
They must have known a great change was coming
Must have seen the signs in the sky

So, they dreamed of phoenix rising
They dreamed of a people whole and new
They dreamed of the people uniting
They dreamed of harmony for the youth

Oh, we're rising up, Phoenix rising up
Oh, we're rising up, Phoenix rising up

Oh we're dancing and dreaming
Singing songs of freedom

We're gonna dream of phoenix rising
We're gonna dream a dream the people would choose
We're gonna keep on freedom fighting
For we've got so much to lose

So let us be the phoenix rising
Let us be the change and the living proof
Let us be the leaders uniting
Let's hold out for the truth

Oh, we're rising up, Phoenix rising up
Oh, we're rising up, Phoenix rising up

Oh we're dancing and dreaming
Singing songs of freedom

Dancing, dancing, dancing for justice
Dancing, dancing, dancing for freedom
Dancing, dancing, dancing, the people are rising
Dancing, dancing, dancing like a phoenix rising

Oh, we're rising up, Phoenix rising up
Oh, we're rising up, Phoenix rising up
