Lyrics
The Phoenix
Late in the afternoon, the city caught fire.
My brothers and my sisters calling each other liar liar.
And in the morning when the sun did rise.
Like the Phoenix from the ashes when it flew up to the sky
The people sweep the streets in the morning sun.
Putting out the fires, their will, will be done.
Some people crying, cause they've lost everything.
My brothers and my sisters they began to sing
Shoo be do, do be do be do wah, can we all just be friends.
Shoo be do, do be do be do wah, let the new life begin.
Shoo be do, do be do be do wah, let the sun please shine in!
Shoo be do, do be do be do wah, can we all just be friends.
The call for change went out, and justice too!
The city cried, birth began anew
My brothers and my sisters, holding hands as one!
Love for city, a new life has begun!
And in the morning when the sun will rise!
Like the Phoenix from the ashes, when it flew up to the sky.
We hold our hearts and our hands as one!
Rebuild our city from the ashes up, the new time has begun!
