a father's hope, a love strong and true
a good advice, a flight into a world anew
but hubris led the young heart - it flew too close, too high
and out of reach
and out of sight

a father's call, across a roaring sea
we broke the bounds we had and now we're finally free
Icarus turn around watch out the blistering heat
or you may fall
out of the sky
out of my reach

crafted carefully by fathers hands
to escape the gloom
wings of wax took him over the land and 
over the mountains too
and see the sparkling sea from high above
so beautiful and blue
icarus you spread your wings and fly so high
into freedom, into doom
