In everyday speech, a phrase may be any group of words, often carrying a special idiomatic meaning; in this sense it is roughly synonymous with expression. In linguistic analysis, a phrase is a group of words (or possibly a single word) that functions as a constituent in the syntax of a sentence—a single unit within a grammatical hierarchy. A phrase appears within a clause, although it is also possible for a phrase to be a clause or to contain a clause within it.
There is a difference between the common use of the term phrase and its technical use in linguistics. In common usage, a phrase is usually a group of words with some special idiomatic meaning or other significance, such as "all rights reserved", "economical with the truth", "kick the bucket", and the like. It may be a euphemism, a saying or proverb, a fixed expression, a figure of speech, etc.
In grammatical analysis, particularly in theories of syntax, a phrase is any group of words, or sometimes a single word, which plays a particular role within the grammatical structure of a sentence. It does not have to have any special meaning or significance, or even exist anywhere outside of the sentence being analyzed, but it must function there as a complete grammatical unit. For example, in the sentence Yesterday I saw an orange bird with a white neck, the words an orange bird with a white neck form what is called a noun phrase, or a determiner phrase in some theories, which functions as the object of the sentence.

Are the gospels fiction?
Rows and rows of teeth
As sharp as a razor blade
Laying by the river bank
Waiting for his prey
Along comes his prey
With no sense of fear
The hunter takes his chance
And bites off his ear
He's the hunting machine
King of his land
He takes opportunities
That falls in his hand
He's the hunting machine
An ancient dinosaur
One thing you don't want
Sitting by your door
As night turns to day
He lays in the baking sun
Building up his energy
And thinking about his tum
A sorry soul comes along
As blind as night can be
Has no chance to take a breath
