Lyrics
Verse I
Her shoulders carry the weight of yesterdays
Ev'ry unkind word they threw at her
Each good deed she did undone
All the mistakes she's ever made
Trying to save everyone
Verse II
There were those who tried hard to pull her under
When she tried to save them from themselves
She offered them her Heaven
Rather than take her hand to join her
They each pulled her into Hell
Chorus
Rise Lady rise
Put it all behind
The chains that bind you belong to others
But now has come the time
Let go of what was
And once again you'll fly
Fly away, fly away
Verse III
No phoenix has flown that wasn't first reborn
Rising from a dark pool of ashes
From a slow burning fire
A time to be rejoiced not mourned
New wings can carry higher
Chorus II
Rise Lady rise
Put it all behind
The chains that bind you belong to others
But now has come the time
Let go of what was
And once again you'll fly
Fly away, fly away
