Firebird

There's a barren desert wasteland That I call my own By a dried up riverbank Where I now stand alone And when the sun does rise It pains the sand in shades of gold I've been here so long But now it's time to break its hold Tomorrow I'm a bird And I'm leaving in the morning Out of here with the dawn On wings of fire The future's just a word I'm ignoring every warning Aimed at keeping me down When I could go higher I'm gonna reach out for the sun I'm gonna burn as bright as one Tomorrow I'm a bird And I'm not a bit concerned Icarus took a fall That I much admire Nestled in a sycamore Where lighting struck before I keep my ashes in a jar Awaiting the next storm And when the sun does rise It pains the sand in shades of gold I've been here so long But now it's time to take control Tomorrow I'm a bird And I'm leaving in the morning Out of here with the dawn On wings of fire The future's just a word I'm ignoring every warning Aimed at keeping me down When I could go higher I'm gonna reach out for the sun I'm gonna burn as bright as one Tomorrow I'm a bird And I'm not a bit concerned Icarus took a fall That I much admire I'm gonna reach out for the sun I'm gonna burn as bright as one I'm gonna reach out for the sun I'm gonna burn as bright as one I'm gonna reach out for the sun I'm gonna burn as bright as one Tomorrow I'm a bird And I'm leaving in the morning Out of here with the dawn On wings of fire The future's just a word I'm ignoring every warning Aimed at keeping me down When I could go higher I'm gonna reach out for the sun I'm gonna burn as bright as one Tomorrow I'm a bird And I'm not a bit concerned Icarus took a fall That I much admire I'm gonna reach out for the sun I'm gonna burn as bright as one I'm gonna reach out for the sun I'm gonna burn as bright as one
