Waiting at the end of the hands that hold
The weather had it’s day and story told
Knots tightening the gray of the day dismayed
With talk of fire coming this way
The world’s been burning for far too long
She wants a family in this landscape of ash
The Phoenix begins anew
Never anymore is the always spoken
When it rains we can breathe again
The breath of life choking and burned broken
The hands that hold keep forgiveness within
Talk of flight to leave this place by wings and a backdoor
Light from the window in the house facing west
The sunset undressing
The moon has woken
Escape possible in their shift
Ashes raining sing this story
A road fading in distance fuels her hope
In this land made by snow drifts of bone
The Phoenix sees the setting sun
Waiting to out shine the moon
Lighting the way for those of chance
Whose hearts carry the sea deep within
