Oh, what beauty lies beneath the hardships of life’s trials

The lessons we endure to pursue our heart’s desire rise anew.

A flame that stirs in our souls.

That keeps our heart beating

Like oxygen we use for breathing.

Day and night we toil

To keep the flame alive.

Like a soldier, we lace up our boots

And get to work.

Choosing every day to Rise like a Phoenix.

And what a beautiful sight it is

Spreading our majestic wings to take flight.

No one believes in our dreams,

But when they doubt our ability to achieve

They are refueling our resolve.

Oh! Great phoenix, rise from beneath the ashes.

Of doubt and shame.

Withstanding the storms of life,

You stand strong

With every heartbeat

Battered and bruised

Your faith is unwavering,

Singing your anthem of

courage.

Oh, how you rise like the flames of your beating heart

Like a beautiful Phoenix!

As you continue to soar above the wreckage from below

Never forgetting the lessons, you hold dear

Oh, Great Phoenix.

Rise,

Rise,

Rise!

Thank you for being a teacher of determination.

Never giving up

Remind us that we are the dream,

If we are willing to work hard.  Be a Phoenix.
