Icarus

He spent all his days in a tower looking over the oceanside
He learned from his father, the Maker, with admiring eyes open wide
Watching the birds as they soared through the sky
He longed for their freedom, till one passing by
Flew up to the window and said

Come fly away with me, I can show you the world
The world at your feet
Come fly away with me, I can give you the sky
And make you the king
Climb higher
Climb higher
There ain't no coming down
There ain't no coming down

He stepped into darkness from light to rescue those that He treasured
He wandered the desert alone to heed the will of His Father
Watching the kingdoms He knew He must save
The tempter of old that leads nations astray
Crept up right beside Him and said

Come fly away with me, I can grant you the world
And all of its kings
Come fly away with me, I can give you the sky
If you'll fall at my feet
Climb higher
Climb higher
There ain't no coming down
There ain't no coming down
