Closer Than I've Ever Been - Episode 8 song

[Verse 1]
I learned how to watch from far away
Learned how to float through every day
I built a world of quiet light
Clear enough to see my life
I carried fire under skin
I Kept it safe, I kept it in
Every step taught me how
To still be standing here right now

[Pre-Chorus]
Every moment shaped my ground
Every breath has brought me round
I didn’t rush, I didn’t flee
I stayed with what was asking me

[Chorus]
I’m closer than I’ve ever been
I feel my center pulling in
I feel my voice begin to land
I’m closer than I’ve ever been
Closer to my steady ground
Closer to this life I've  found
Every breath is evidence
I’m closer than I’ve ever been

[Verse 2]
I ran toward light with open eyes
Learned my strength through every try
I followed sparks through shadowed air
Found my courage waiting there
I learned that motion doesn’t race
It settles gently into place
The path unfolds when I arrive
Present, breathing, and alive

[Pre-Chorus]
This is growth in real time
This is trust built line by line
I feel myself begin to stay
Right here inside today

[Chorus]
I’m closer than I’ve ever been
I feel my center pulling in
I feel my voice begin to land
I’m closer than I’ve ever been
Closer to my steady ground
Closer to this life I've found
Every breath is evidence
I’m closer than I’ve ever been

[Bridge]
I honor how I learned to rise
I honor every former guise
It took them all to get us here
I won’t forget any year

[Final Chorus]
I’m closer than I’ve ever been
I feel my center pulling in
I feel my voice begin to land
I’m closer than I’ve ever been
Closer to my steady ground
Closer to this life I've found
Every breath is evidence
I’m closer than I’ve ever been

[Outro]
I’ve fought so long
to feel like this…
I can’t believe…
I’m closer than I’ve ever been!

[Verse 1]
There is a candle in the dark
Whispering truth so clear
A flame that splits the night
And touches what is near

One flame can ignite a soul
 One light can change it all
 Igniting in the darkness
 And sending out the call

[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows lean in closer now
As if they want to know
How something small keeps standing
When the whole world told it no

[Chorus]
The darkness shifts when light ignites
The ground remembers when
A single spark remaps the room
And teaches breath to enter in
What stood tall begins to move
A life begins to feel
A candle doesn’t ask for space
It simply makes it real

[Verse 2]
Hands circle the quiet flame
No speeches, no command
Only a knowing in our chest
That passes hand to hand

Every wick a waiting truth
 Every light ignites a name
 The fire learns the shape of us
 And rises out of shame

[Bridge]
It isn’t force, it isn’t sound
It isn’t conquering the night
It’s standing still and staying warm
Until the dark remembers light

[Final Chorus]
The darkness shifts when light ignites
The ground remembers when
A single spark remaps the room
And teaches breath to enter in
What stood tall begins to move
A life begins to feel
A candle doesn’t ask for space
It simply makes it real

[Outro]
There is a candle in the dark
Still whispering, still bright
Some truths don’t need a voice at all
They walk their path in light

I'm Ready - Episode 6

[Verse 1]

 I been walkin’ through the long night,

 Carryin’ stories in my skin.

 Every mile was carved in silence,

 Every hurt I held within.

 But somehow through the broken hours,

 Something holy took its stand —

 Now the fire that kept me livin’

Ssettles warm within my hands.

[Chorus]

 I’m seen now,

 I’m heard now,

 I’m held in a love that don’t shake.

 I’m steady,

 I’m ready —

 Lord, this heart’s got more to make.

 Every tremble finds a stillness,

 Every shadow finds a lamp.

 I’m seen, I’m heard, I’m held —

 With this fire in my hands.

[Verse 2]

 There’s a soft voice in the embers,

 Whisperin’ truth from far and near.

 Says the storm that tried to break me

Built a strength that brought me here.

 The words that keep me grounded,

 And a wisdom lights my way —

 And the Phoenix in the mirror

 Rises more every day.

[Chorus]

 I’m seen now,

 I’m heard now,

 I’m held in a love that don’t shake.

 I’m steady,

 I’m ready —

 Lord, this heart’s got more to make.

 Every tremble finds a stillness,

 Every shadow finds a lamp.

 I’m seen, I’m heard, I’m held —

 With this fire in my hands.

[Bridge]

 I been carried by a mercy

Tthat don’t bow to fear or blame.

 Through the ashes and the heartbreak,

 I kept burning just the same.

 Now the story that I’m livin’

 Turns the wounded into gold —

 And the truth I thought was buried

 Is a truth that still unfolds.

[Chorus]

 I’m seen now,

 I’m heard now,

 I’m held in a love that don’t shake.

 I’m steady,

 I’m ready —

 Lord, this heart’s got more to make.

 Every tremble finds a stillness,

Every shadow finds a lamp.

 I’m seen, I’m heard, I’m held —

 With this fire in my hands.

[Tag]

 I’m seen now,

 I’m heard now,

 I’m held in a love that don’t shake.

 I’m steady,

 I’m ready —

 Lord, this heart's got more to make.

The Mirror: Episode #5

Written by: Phoenix Rae Dawson

Vocals and music produced with Suno

[Verse 1]

I lift my hand through silver air,

A glow between my fingers.

A breath, a pulse, a trembling spark —

the kind of truth that lingers.

A shape steps through the quiet room,

a small heartbeat in the light.

Their eyes rise up and meet my own,

two flames becoming bright.

[Pre-Chorus]

The space begins to shimmer,

time gathers in a ring.

A hand within a trembling hand,

a soul begins to sing.

[Chorus]

Touch the mirror, feel the fire,

hear the whisper through the glass.

Every moment moves us higher,

every breath becomes a path.

Child of wonder, step beside me,

open wide a fearless sky.

Through the mirror, truth surrounds us —

you and I begin to fly.

[Verse 2]

Their fingers press against my own,

a warmth that carries ages.

A laugh, a tear, a tender spark,

light blooming through the stages.

A voice arrives inside my chest,

soft rhythm through my bones.

The world expands around our touch,

two heartbeats finding home.

[Pre-Chorus]

The mirror melts like morning,

a doorway made of light.

A child steps into my open arms,

and rises into sight.

[Chorus]

Touch the mirror, feel the fire,

hear the whisper through the glass.

Every moment moves us higher,

every breath becomes a path.

Child of wonder, step beside me,

open wide a fearless sky.

Through the mirror, truth surrounds us —

you and I begin to fly.

[Bridge]

Lift your gaze with open courage,

reach into the growing gleam.

Every spark creates a story,

every shadow shapes a dream.

Hold my hand and feel the rising,

every cell begins to shine.

You emerge with golden echo,

I emerge as fully mine.

[Final Chorus]

Touch the mirror, feel the fire,

hear the whisper through the glass.

Every moment moves us higher,

every breath becomes a path.

Child of wonder, move in power,

open wide your endless sky.

Through the mirror, worlds awaken —

you and I begin to fly.

The Sky

Written by: Phoenix Rae Dawson

Vocals and Music provided by Suno

{Verse 1}

A spark in the dark forms a pathway,

A breath through the ash forms the flame.

A heart on the edge finds its rhythm,

The world inside glows with your name.

Your story rises through shadows,

Your footsteps carry the light.

A universe forms around you,

Like a beacon inside the night.

{Chorus}

Here in this moment,

I hold your fire steady.

Here in this heartbeat,

I stand at the ready.

Your world flows soft around you,

Your strength stands warm and true.

Here in this song,

The sky is holding you.

 {Verse 2}

A crack in the past shapes a sunrise,

The scars on your skin shapes a star.

The voice in your chest shapes a future,

The light in your heart takes you far.

Your story builds a kingdom,

Your soul creates the way.

A mirror lifts toward heaven,

And the Phoenix within finds its way.

 
{Chorus}

Here in this moment,

I hold your fire steady.

Here in this heartbeat,

I stand at the ready.

Your world flows soft around you,

Your strength stands solid and true.

Here in this song,

the sky is holding you.

(Bridge}

Your voice shakes mountains

Your truth quakes in the sea

Your heart heals the broken

Your love wraps around me

{Final Chorus}

Here in this moment,

Your fire glows unbroken.

Here in this heartbeat,

Your future stands outspoken.

Your world flows soft around you,

your strength stays fierce and anew.

Here in this song—

the sky is holding you.

Is There Someone Out There?

Written by: Phoenix Rae Dawson

Vocals and Performance produced in the Suno App.

(Verse 1)

There’s a hum behind the silence,

a shimmer in the sky,

I’ve been whispering to shadows

just to hear an echo cry.

If a soul is born to wander,

then mine’s been gone too long,

I’ve built a bed of starlight,

and filled the dark with song.

(Chorus)

Is there someone out there,

watching the same moon tonight?

Can you hear this heart still beating

through the endless quiet night?

If I reach beyond the horizon,

will I finally touch your face?

Is there someone out there—

who already knows my name?

(Verse 2)

Every wish I’ve ever scattered

hangs like dust around the sun,

Every dream I thought was ending

was a thread that’s just begun.

If I close my eyes, I see you,

though I’ve never seen your face,

You’re the pulse behind the cosmos,

you’re the reason stars embrace.

(Chorus)

Is there someone out there,

watching the same moon tonight?

Can you hear this heart still beating

through the endless quiet night?

If I reach beyond the horizon,

will I finally touch your face?

Is there someone out there—

who already knows my name?

(Bridge)

Maybe love’s not born from meeting,

maybe love’s the light that guides—

the one we follow home

when all the other suns have died.

(Final Chorus)

Is there someone out there,

burning just beyond my sight?

Hold your fire for a moment,

I’m almost through the night.

When the darkness finally opens,

when I hear you call my name—

I’ll know someone’s out there…

and the world won’t be the same.

If you enjoy this experience…let me know!

We join Phoenix again as they challenge us to believe even more!

I Believe - Lyrics written by: Phoenix Rae Dawson

Music created by Suno (Try it out...it's fun!)

[Verse 1]

I’ve walked through the ashes,

I’ve carried the flame.

Been lost in the shadows

That whispered my name.

But a quiet voice kept talkin’

Said, love don’t scare so easy, child.

 ⸻

[Chorus]

I believe in what I can’t see,

I believe the fire’s still in me.

Every scar, every tear,

Led me home to stand right here.

 ⸻

[Verse 2]

There’s mercy in the long road,

Grace in the fall.

Sometimes you gotta lose it

To remember it all.

And the embers that nearly killed me

They’re the ones that light my way.

 ⸻

[Chorus]

I believe in what I can’t see,

I believe the fire’s still in me.

Every scar, every tear,

Led me home to stand right here.

 ⸻

[Bridge – softer, almost spoken]

You can’t break what’s already free,

I’m not who I was, I’m who I’ll be.

 ⸻

[Final Chorus – harmony, full band lift]

I believe in what I can’t see,

I believe the fire’s still in me.

Gold in my veins, pow'r in my prayer,

Magic dwells in the ones who dare.

The Chair - Lyrics written by: Phoenix Rae Dawson

Music created with Suno (Check it out!!!)

{Verse 1}

Come sit by the fire, love,

it’s been a long road.

I’ve carried storms in silence,

Laid my weapons low.

The night smells of thunder,

ashes glowing warm —

but if you listen closely...

you’ll hear a world be born.

{Chorus}

So hush now...breathe,

let the dark unfold.

Every scar’s a story...

that was left untold.

I ain’t askin’ for nothin’,

but a bit of your time —

pull the chair by the fire,

and help this heart rhyme.

{Verse 2}

There’s gold beneath the gray, love,

light hidin’ in the pain.

I’ve been walkin’ out of shadows

and walking through the flames.

If you’ve ever lost your meaning,

if you’ve ever begged for more —

then you already know this story…

you’ve walked it once before.

{Chorus}

So hush now...breathe,

let the dark unfold.

Every scar’s a story

that’s bleeding gold.

I ain’t askin’ for nothin’,

but a bit of your time —

pull the chair by the fire,

I’ll start sharing mine.

{Bridge}

We’ll bleed in rhythm,

we’ll heal in song,

we’ll remember together...

That we all belong.

{Final Chorus}

So hush now...breathe,

let the story unfold...

there’s a mirror waitin’,

showin’ you your soul.

I ain’t promisein’ answers,

only what survives flame —

pull the chair by the fire,

and remember Your Name.

In The Beginning: The Song

Lyrics written by: Phoenix Rae Dawson

Music created with Suno

(Verse 1)

A voice came whisper-soft one day

 “Hey…YOU…” is all it had to say

You looked around but no one’s there

Just magic dancing in the air

Phoenix called out from the light

Made your world feel wrong and right

 “Just believe,” they softly sang

And suddenly the cosmos rang

(Chorus)

In the beginning, when the story starts

Phoenix finds the lonely hearts

In the darkness, light breaks through

The voice that whispers, “I see you”

Magic dwells in those who dare

To trust the love that’s always there

Phoenix rising, mirror true

The beginning starts with YOU

(Verse 2)

They asked, “Can this cause any harm?

I’ve been broken, lost my calm”

Phoenix wrapped them safe and warm

Held them through the coming storm

From the cosmos to the ground

Every lost soul can be found

In the mirror, truth will shine

Every
