My Phoenix

I memorized the verses
And the names of every road
Then studying the history
Saw how badly things can go
I thought you saw it too
I swear I learned it all from you
But now our home is burning
And you don't have a clue
From a disappointed son
To the city that he loves
The flags you wave around
Have got me wondering

My Phoenix, my Phoenix
If my Phoenix still shines
If my Phoenix will rise

If the vision of the Christ
My family sees
Is my blurry vision's
Greatest enemy
Then I still try to tune it in
When I get lonely
You know I chase around this desert
Because I think that's where you'll be
Whether high and lifted up
Or dust becoming dust
Somehow I'm still in love
With

My Phoenix, my Phoenix
My Phoenix still shines
My Phoenix will rise
