My Icarian dream.

Don't mourn my fate

for I knew I had a date, with my destiny.

Don't shed no tear or lament

for I soared high before I fell from the sky.

The fall was hard and the seas were deep

but I kept a promise that I promised to keep.

I tried, I lived

My Icarian dream.

You wanted me to stop , you wanted me to slow down

you wanted me to be safe but you wanted me to bow down.

Yes the sun's rays were harsh, they melted my wings

yes they seared my skin and sent me plunging.

It took my life, but it couldn't take my soul

for I lived my Icarian dream.

I know you think I was a fool

I know I angered the gods

I know i challenged the order of things

I know I was bound to fail

but I'm happy I didn't crawl

I'm happy I stood up and

lived my Icarian dream.

Tell the sun to be ready for me

Tell the gods to sharpen their spears

for I will come back to prevail

to soar and to sail

and yet again to

LIVE MY ICARIAN DREAM.
