Oh, Icarus

Growing up the world was small
I know so little if at all
Of worlds outside these awful walls
Oh I can only dream
Sure there were plenty books to read
And bold inventions, wild machines
My father's gifts from great Athene
Will save me now and set me free

No longer caged, I'm flying
Oer oceans vast, I'm shining
The Sun she seems to cry
Oh, Icarus, come home to me

The wind blows through my hair
And ruffles up my wings
The sunshine gives me kisses
And the salt mist sweetly stings
Alive at last, I'll thrive at last
I soar towards the Sun
The wax is slowly dripping
The ticking clock has just begun

No longer caged, I'm flying
Oer oceans vast, I'm shining
The Sun she seems to cry
Oh, Icarus, come home to me

Climbing higher, further from my past
Above the birds, I start free falling fast
The winds knocked from my lungs
The scorching of the Sun
Once tempting, tantalizing
Is a golden fist that hurls me towards the sea

And it's so bright it's blinding
The wind is howling, biting
The waves all seem to cry
Oh, Icarus, come home to me
As I plummet to the unforgiving
Glistening turquoise sea
