Susan K. Rowse - A Caged Phoenix lyrics

I saw a captive Phoenix beating wings against the bars I witnessed her emotions and how deeply she was scarred I held a hand to catch her tears her eyes half closed to me But when my fingers opened up her tears became a key This key became her freedom with energetic bursts This caged up Phoenix stretched her wings then quenched her pent-up thurst She sang a song of greater days and emptied all her sighs The one who put her in this cage was suddenly surprised He found that she,indeed could soar...amongst the clouds on high Then forgive the man who put her here and echo her goodbye He took a beauty ...he tried to keep her energies intact What happened here is she grew and with each tear he lacked.
