Icarus by Jeffrey Gold

ICARUS

Should you want to seek escape
From a tower made of light
Sitting idle on an isle
From whence to launch your flight

Should you venture off too far
And travel much too high,
Your temporary wings will melt
And fall right from the sky

Chorus:
If you want to see me fly
Just look up into the sky
When the sun is not too high
I will fly (That is when I'll fly)

How can a father
Learn from his mistakes
And can he help his wayward son
Escape the maze he makes

And how can that same father
Throughout the plaintive cries
Continue moving forward
With the son upon his eyes

[Chorus]

One thing we will never know
When he took into the air
Is why he sacrificed himself
For the dream that we all share

And why can some fulfill their dreams
And others merely try
Like Daedalus, and Icarus
Who fell down from the sky

[Chorus]

When he went on his journey
And he set out to be free
Little did he know the price
He'd pay for liberty

And now it's just a painting
In a diner on the wall
A hymn to a fallen hero
And a requiem for all

Chorus:
If you want to see me fly
Just look up into the sky
When the sun is not too high
I will fly
Fly
I will fly.
