Phoenix Lyrics by Catie Trainor

Phoenix, a Spoken Word Collective

2020

[Verse 1]
Nightmare on Elm Street, feared I'd stay trapped inside
I feared wasting my youth and my potential in writing
But I've been washed clean in the river I cried
And in the midst of the madness is where I honed my style
Now I'll sift through the pain to find worth in the while
Heart like the sun and tongue like a whip
A spell that can't be undone and a force to be reckoned with

[Chorus]
The dawn is right where I left it
Found peace in whеre I've been
Guess it's truе, where were broken is where the light gets in
Is where the light gets in, is where the light gets in

[Verse 2]
So as the bird is freed from her cage
The dreams I thought had died sat up in their graves
The hurricane brings one thousand words for the taking
So it goes, darling, the writer thanks the rain
And the day I break the moon will stop making waves
So as I breathe in the first light of day, I ask
What is grace?
Where do I find it?
And how do I make it stay?

[Chorus]
The dawn is right where I left it
Found peace in where I've been
Guess its true, where were broken is where the light gets in
Is where the light gets in, is where the light gets in

[Verse 3]
And I'm not much for religion, but I think my prayer is this page
I've carved confessions by hand, have given notebooks his name
I've learned vulnerability is strength and forgiveness is power
I built a house on a hill to feel the sun at all hours
I once burned down in flames then rose up from the ground
I guess the legends are true, I'm a Phoenix now

[Chorus]
The dawn is right where I left it
Found peace in where I've been
Guess its true, where were broken is where the light gets in
Is where the light gets in, is where the light gets in
