The Phoenix

You lost your daughter and your son
Emotions so strong our bodies were numb
You held me tight in the heart of St Lukes
Stroked my hair while full of despair

It seemed like we had reached the end
But really we'd just turned a bend
Because around the corner new life begins
Like The Phoenix it rises new love it brings

But at the time we did not know
The sadness it just seemed to grow
But a new Eden awaited us
Though we never lost sight of what we'd lost

That helped keep our feet on the ground
Appreciate the new love we'd found
And so the babes they gurgled and they grew
To become the fine people you knew

And now you've gone and taken your place
The order's returned The Phoenix it's burned
But it will rise from the ashes once again
There is no end to the light that it contains

But at the time we did not know
The sadness it just seemed to grow
But a new Eden awaited us
Though we never lost sight of what we'd lost

But at the time we did not know
The sadness it just seemed to grow
But a new Eden awaited us
Though we never lost sight of what we'd lost
