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 fathers 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
