  • Mother
    Just lay your head down
    You been burning both ends of the candle
    And you're done
    It's time to find your wings again
    And turn your face towards the sun
    Some battles can't be won

    Like a phoenix
    Rising from the ashes
    Like a phoenix
    Rising from the flame

    You're gonna be alright
    You're gonna be alright
    You're gonna be alright again

    Oh, brother
    Your hands are tired
    You've been holding the world up
    And you're losing your grip
    If you knew now what you knew then
    Maybe you'd be whole again
    But everyone falls down

    Like a phoenix
    Rising from the ashes
    Like a phoenix
    Rising from the flame

    You're gonna be alright
    You're gonna be alright
    You're gonna be alright again

    You build a castle in the clouds
    And then the fire burned you down
    But you're still standing anyway
    When all you needed from the start
    Was waiting there inside your heart to be born again

    Like a phoenix
    Like a phoenix
    You're gonna be alright
    You're gonna be alright
    You're gonna be alright again
    You're gonna be alright
    You're gonna be alright
    You're gonna be alright again Writer/s: Mark Taylor, Nelly Furtado, Paul Barry
