Lyrics
Camellia, my evergreen,
I found her in my destiny;
A sweeter soul there’s never been,
Always saw the best in me.
We travelled far, hand in hand,
Across the ocean, sky and land;
A journey whose destination,
Was friendship, love and exploration…
The infinite wisdom of water,
That lubricates the Earth;
Passed down through son and daughter,
To signify rebirth…
The Phoenix from my ashes,
Rose up one winter’s night;
A searing flame of flashes,
To free the faith of light…
I found her in my destiny;
A sweeter soul there’s never been,
Always saw the best in me.
We travelled far, hand in hand,
Across the ocean, sky and land;
A journey whose destination,
Was friendship, love and exploration…
The infinite wisdom of water,
That lubricates the Earth;
Passed down through son and daughter,
To signify rebirth…
The Phoenix from my ashes,
Rose up one winter’s night;
A searing flame of flashes,
To free the faith of light…

Bio
Born in India, raised in Nottingham, I am a multilingual voice actor, whose musical pretensions have emerged a little later in life. I consider myself to be more of a songwriter and composer than a singer.
I love many kinds of music, but major influences would have to include the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison.

Comments:
I like the imagery you’ve used.
I think we need more setup for the song so we can connect to the story, understanding who the narrator is.
