Icarus

Would you like to see me fly
Up high, high above the sky?
Would you like to me soar
Up high touch the golden orb?

But what did, what did father say?
Who knows, reckless is the way.

Watch me sail through the wind
Breathe in where no one's ever been
Watch me draw in a crowd
Waxed wings rise above the clouds

White sun, hot sun burning bright
Nothing can stop me in flight

My father told me that I'd fall
If I flew too high but I ignored it all
Tumbling down through the air
Does not a single person care?
Icarus, calling out
Icarus, falling down

Watch life flash before my eyes
I hear the silence, it cries
Boldly crash into the sea
Watch them name it after me

One act of pure audacity
They all will remember me

My father told me that I'd fall
If I flew too high but I ignored it all
Tumbling down through the air
I know that people will care.
Icarus, that's what they'll say
Icarus, you flew away
