I am your daughter
Carved out of your stone
I'm the seed that you dropped
I'm the marrow of your bone
I am the one who asked no questions
Designed to love you unconditional!
I sprouted my shoots and waited for your hands
And laid down my roots
But the summer came and went
and I looked to the sun, longed to feel your touch
But you knew nothing of unconditional love
Chorus:
And I rose up like a phoenix rose up from your ash
You just turned your back and I'll never understand
Though I had no armour you just let me go
Into the night to battle with your ghosts
If I could go back there, be my own angel
She won't buy a mockingbird, she's incapable
So hush little baby, close your tired eyes
Still are no answers, so hush now hushabye
Chorus:
And I rose up like a phoenix rose up from your ash
You just turned your back and I'll never understand
Though I had no armour you just let me go
Into the night to battle with your ghosts
So I gathered up my sorrows
And I took it on my tongue
And sang until the morning when the sun came in so strong
I sang until the daybreak that's how I became strong!
