It only takes a second for your whole world to turn inside out
Millions die every day, and isn't it a wonder we are not one of them
In that single moment we saw our lives flash before our eyes

I still remember the way that we felt that day
I will always remember, always remember
It takes a turn like this to put it in perspective
It takes a turn like this to put it in perspective

What does not kill us makes us stronger
Looks like I'll be here a little longer

The wind blows through the trees
We're all brought to our knees
It would be so easy to give up here

And when the sun arose
Was when our hearts froze
Will the one above hear our please
But now the sun dawns on a new day
And from the ashes the phoenix arises
From the ashes the phoenix arises.
