Icarus Rising

_{Lyrics by [Linderel]}

We used to say
humans will have wings
with which to soar one day
laughing, defiant, in the face of
the nonbelieving and everyone else
holding hands with secret smiles

<CHORUS>
I see you take flight
and think: you're like Icarus,
rising high
where none can reach you
and behind my laugh I pray
you'll never stop flying
</CHORUS>

All those childhood dreams,
remember, you and me and
the endless skies
you took them in your hands
and made the impossible
a picture perfect reality

<CHORUS>
I see you take flight now
and think: you're like Icarus,
rising high
where none can reach you
and behind my tears I pray
you'll never stop and fall
</CHORUS>
