Icarus

I walked to the edge

And took a deep breath

I slowly closed my eyes

Said a prayer then I lept

I felt myself falling

Going head over heels

When I hit the bottom

I’ll know how darkness feels

It seems like forever

As I make my way down

I’m ready for the end

But I never reach the ground

Like Icarus I’m flying

Yes I have spread my wings

I feel the warmth of the sun

And the peacefulness it brings

Like Icarus I’m soaring

High above the ground

I’ll stay up here forever

In this freedom I have found

The fates were so generous

As I fly away like Icarus

All my problems leave me

As I soar with the wind

I thought that I was dead

But I feel alive again

Now I can’t help but smile

As I think about the past

I had so many burdens

But now I’m free at last

Like Icarus I’m flying

Yes I have spread my wings

I feel the warmth of the sun

And the peacefulness it brings

Like Icarus I’m soaring

High above the ground

I’ll stay up here forever

In this freedom I have found

The fates were so generous

As I fly away like Icarus

Everything is so tranquil

Up high above it all

And I wouldn’t be here

If I hadn’t chose to fall

Like Icarus I’m flying

Yes I have spread my wings

I feel the warmth of the sun

And the peacefulness it brings

Like Icarus I’m soaring

High above the ground

I’ll stay up here forever

In this freedom I have found

The fates were so generous

As I fly away like Icarus
