Fredrick McDonald - The phoenix

Turn toward the fire in to the night I see a young phoenix just taking flight
He spreads his wings while the embers fall to the ground like thick ash
As he flaps his wings, fire on his wings, the flame ignites the ground that surrounds him
Until he sees the dawns' first light he knows he has to make it to the sun before the next night
Or he will disappear alone and scared for his family controls the fiery sun
To give life to the sun once again so his life has begun at the break of dawn
He know he must press on.. he hits the sun the phoenix lets a scream of joy he give the sun his fiery glow
The sun gives forth a brighter glow
