david carradine - the phoenix (1975 album version) lyrics

well, the phoenix is a bird that lives for several hundred years
then lights a fire and burns away his laughter and his tears
he dies an agonizing death so he can be reborn
he rises out of his own ashes early in the morn

i lost all my feathers in the fire of ’68
my old love is buried with my jealousy and hate
in the ashes of the man i used to be

i tried to help myself, but i guess it was my fate
i learned my lesson finally, but i guess i was too late
too late for the man i used to be

i’m gonna rise up like a phoenix from my ashes and take wing
i’m gonna put myself together once again and learn to sing
a new song like i never sang before, just wait and see
i’m gonna rise up like a phoenix from my ashes, and be free
i lost all my blood in the battle of ’74
i laid there on my back and watched it run on the floor
good+bye to the man i used to be; i had to say good+bye
to the man i used to be

you’ve gotta die a little, if you really wanna grow
you’ve gotta learn to forget, if you really wanna know
all that is

- david carradine lyrics
