Icarus Fall

He ascends toward
Scorching blinding light
And the wax is hot
But he doesn’t mind

So what if Icarus fell

He’s breathing sun wind
Drinking melted gold
And the beat of wings
Makes him feel like God

So what if Icarus fell

Feathers loosed apart
He’s on crazy run
Cutting through the light
To embracing sun

So what if Icarus fell

People far behind
Far from joy and love
Walking dirty land
Dare not look above

And they say “So what if Icarus flies”

And he fell from skies
Burning, blazing wreck
Never asking “Why?”
Never looking back

So what if Icarus fell
He’s still flying
