Dragons hide in wide open spaces Breathing fire through a smiling face When the smoke has cleared Turn and face the fate you feared and (Chorus) Rise, ashes still in your eyes You laugh or you cry, whatever gets you by Like the Phoenix, fly Your heart burned in the desert wind It blew your mind and your innocence Go and curse the sun Or become the stronger one (Chorus) There once lived a girl Who could not close her eyes at night Fearing darker worlds She slept days only dreamin' of light In the dark, cries a tear for wings Like the lark, in her cage, she sings Turn the world upside down 'Til the hope you lost is found and (Chorus x2)
