Power was all I desired But all that grew inside me was the darkness I acquired When I began to fall and I lost the path ahead That's when your friendship found me and it lifted me instead Like a phoenix burning bright in the sky I'll show there's another side to me you can't deny I may not know what the future holds But hear me when I say That my past does not define me Cause my past is not today Ambition is what I believed Would be the only way to set me free But when it disappeared and I found myself alone That's when you came and got me and it felt like I was home Like a phoenix burning bright in the sky I'll show there's another side to me you can't deny I may not know what the future holds But hear me when I say That my past does not define me Cause my past is not today
