[English]

Gracefully she's circling higher.

She has the wind beneath her wings

And looks down on us

She said:

"Robbed of my innocence, had no more time to play.

I sure got my feathers burned, but I'm stronger than the flames".

Here she comes, here she comes.

I've been waiting for so long.

Here she comes

Rose again from the flames

My little Phoenix

Eternity is set in her eyes

Throwing sparks back at the world that'll never die.

And I think:

"She was robbed of her innocence, had no more time to play.

She's only a little girl, but she stronger than the flames"

Here she comes, here she comes.

I've been waiting for so long.

Here she comes

Rose again from the flames

My little Phoenix

Here she comes

I've been waiting for my little Phoenix

You've got to get close to the flame to see what it's made of,

You've got to get close to the flame to see what you are made of.

Here she comes, here she comes.

I've been waiting for so long.

Here she comes

Rose again from the flames

My little Phoenix
