Daedalus

I stand on the cliffs with my son next to me This island our prison, our home And everyday we look out at the sea This place is all he's ever known But I've got a plan, and some Wax and some string, some feathers I stole from a bird We leap from the cliff and we hear the wind sing a song thats too perfect for words But son, please keep a steady wing And know your the only one that means anything to me Steer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the sea Now safely away, I let out a cry We'll make the mainland by noon But Icarus climbs higher still in the sky Maybe I've spoken too soon But son, please keep a steady wing And know your the only one that means anything to me Steer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the sea Wont you look at your wings They're coming undone They're splitting at the seams Steer clear of the sun, for once wont you listen to me? Oh God! Why is this happening to me? All I wanted was new life for my son to grow up free And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me I'll never fly again, I'll hang up my wings Oh God! Why is this happening to me? All I wanted was new life for my son to grow up free And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me I'll never fly again, I'll hang up my wings Oh God!
