[English]

Let's talk about Phoenix

...

It's got a way of helping you to breathe a little better

...

Through the storm and rain

If you need to escape

Woah-oh

Oh, you wonder why

Let's talk about Phoenix

It's got a way of helping you to breathe a little better

...

I can slowly see

A light fading away

In my mind and my heart I have no doubt

Oh, you wonder why

...
