Story Behind The Song

I was extremely lost with myself and I didn't know where to turn. This song was an inspirational song to myself, it gave me hope that I could move on and The Phoenix was the answer to all my prayers.

Song Description

After my graduate work at Purdue University I moved to Phoenix and this is the first song I wrote

Lyrics

"The Phoenix"
TS THOMAS copyright c 2000

You wake up in the morning and you hear the calling of a new day
The same routine I can?t figure out anything
And sometimes you don?t understand
you really don?t think your gonna fit there plans
So you struggle through it all not know?in
And you know your gonna make this stand alone

And there?s a road outside of phoenix
And it brings in those stormy winds
You?ll never know what you?ll find in phoenix

Late at night you can hear the monsoon rains come a rushing in
Whispering what tomorrow will bring
Dosn?t it drive you crazy what will show
doesn?t it drive you crazy that you just don?t know

And there?s a road outside of phoenix
And it brings in those stormy winds
You?ll never know what you?ll find in phoenix
When your on your own and standin all alone when your on your own
------Break--------
The Phoenix has a cross road
Find it and your on your way home
Just don?t let minor things detour you
From a what you really want to be
And remember I know what your going through

And there?s a road outside of phoenix
And it brings in those stormy winds
You?ll never know what you?ll find in phoenix
When your on your own and standin all alone

You?ll never know what you?ll find in phoenix
The answer lies right here for you
You can leave it all behind on the road to phoenix
Look inside and don?t fail me know
Your on your way home on the road to phoenix
It?s really just all up to you
You?ll never know what you?ll find in phoenix
The answer lies right here for you
You can leave it all behind on the road to phoenix
Give it all you?ve got to give
