Icarus

[Verse 1]
Forgive me father, I'm a disrespectful son
But I love you, father
For no man seems as great to me
As the man who's seen me through these years

[Verse 2]
But I won't follow, try to understand
That I like this sunshine
Don't blame it on my youthful pride
But blame a heart that's trying to fly free

[Verse 3]
Soaring like the phoenix flight
Digging holes in heaven to cheat the nighttime
Of its scheme to rob my dream
And humble, a proud and lofty bird...

[Verse 4]
Don't cry, father, though you've lost a son
I've been happy
I've touched the gods and felt the sun
Beat against my breast – now my day is done

[Outro]
My day is done
And I can fly
Watch me fly...
