#PhoenixRebirth
When the world is at ruins at your feet
The moment failure is what you meet
When your dreams slip away like sand
The second life deals you a cruel hand
Build a castle from the rocks and stone
Work in silence, but never walk alone
As the tide washes away your hopes
Grit your teeth and climb that slope
When the world burns before your eyes
Focus on the "I will's", not the "why's"
Keep dreaming, eventually you'll realize
You've got to hit the bottom in order to Rise
