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!
