Power was all I desired
But all that grew
inside of 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
