Icarus

Icarus was not an achiever Always resented what his father could do Was sick and tired of the hullabaloo When would he ever make his mark? Icarus was not a believer His father trusted him and took him for granted That he would turn out to be just as enchanted That all he needed was some help getting off the ground Put these on and learn to fly A course above the ocean Test your strength Learn to change the angle of your wing But, Icarus, fly beneath me, shaded from the sun Unlimited altitude will heat up your wings and they'll come unglued Of the sun, you must beware When you're gliding through the air You have to try to stay in my shadow Icarus could see the potential Aerodynamic mythological coup Of being the only flying demi-god who Dared to land on the sun Icarus could see the credential And taste the glory of the journey at hand The light reflected off his wings when they spread He started singing when his feet only found air Look at me I'm going to be the stuff that myths are made of Divine event The kind of myth that makes a masquerade of a father Over him, I'll cast a shadow broader than the sun Unlimited altitude I like to navigate in the nude Breezes blowing through my hair While I ride the dunes of air I think I'll let him fly in my shadow He didn't try to get his ears to pop He liked the atmospheric pressure drop The sky around him and the earth below Earth below, earth below, earth below, earth below Earth below, earth below, earth below, earth below Earth below, earth below, earth below, earth below Look at me I'm going to be the stuff that myths are made of Divine event The kind of myth that makes a masquerade of a father Over him, I'll cast a shadow broader than the sun Unlimited altitude The ozone layer is rainbow-hued Nimbus cloud about my head I think I'll wear it in my father's stead I think the air is getting thin Look at me I'm going to be the stuff that myths are made of Divine event The kind of myth that makes a masquerade of a father (doo doo doo doo) Over him, I'll cast a shadow broader than the sun Ah!
