I see a phoenix arising
Like a phoenix from the ashes raised
Sweeping evil before him
Marching on towards better days
(chorus)
Marching to the cities, marching
Marching to the towns, marching
With your banners before you, marching
Spread what you say, and spread it all around now
Rising, phoenix rising
There's job to be done now
Don't back down from the coming fight
We're gonna lighten our load now
And drag us back from the endless night
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)
Now many flags are unfurling
And standing up to the tyranny
Men and women with a common bond
Tell each other "You can lean on me now"
