They never said to
try and touch the sun
But you were the one
Who dared to fly higher than anyone
The boy who dared to reach for heaven.
Angel's wings held tight by dreams alone
Spread out to cover the horizon
Hold the light in your small hands
Unafraid to show your pride.
Oh, Icarus. . . .
So the fire tipped your wings
But you never heard the screams
Or your father's shocked heart
As his tears fell on bronzed skin.
The muse inspired rains could not heal
Reprimands god exacts for pride
The wounds of a boy so innocent
A boy who dared to dream too much.
Oh, Icarus. . . .
