Minor Flight of the Phoenix

Gravity is the enemy of every man
Hull integrity determines if we crash or we land
And when turbulent times turn up your tail
The women in the window seats all start to wail
Resilience is when I pull myself from the debris
And I proclaim I've lost this game, but oh, hear my plea

I want to fly
I want to fly again
I'm gonna die
But I'll rise again
And I'll bring the day

I go easy wherever I can
Our integrity is valued on the air, water, and land
And when cool, calm winds lift up your wings
The women in the window seats all start to sing
Confidence is a runway constructed on frail
And I proclaim I've lost this game
But oh, watch me sail

I gonna fly
I gonna fly again
I'm gonna die
But I'll rise again
And I'll soar all-day

Egos the enemy of every man
Stop degrading my fire by kicking your sand
And when turbulent times knock down your nose
You can sit and contemplate or suppose
Reemergence rekindled from ashen wood
And I proclaim I've lost this game
But I'm no ordinary bird

I gonna fly
I gonna fly again
I'm gonna die
But I'll rise again
And I'll end this day
