I stand on the cliffs with my son next to meThis island our prison, our homeAnd everyday we look out at the seaThis place is all he's ever knownBut I've got a plan and some wax and some string; some feathers I stole from the birdsWe leap from the cliff and we hear the wind singa song that's too perfect for wordsBut son, please keep a steady wingAnd know your the only one that means anything to meSteer 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 skyMaybe I've spoken too soonUhOh Son, please keep a steady wingSteer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the seaWon't you look at your wingsThey're coming undoneThey're splitting at the seamsSteer clear of the sun, for once won't you listen to me?
Oh, Gods!Why is this happening to me?All I wanted was a new life for my son to grow up freeAnd now you took the only thing that meant anything to meI will never fly again, I will hang up my wingsI will never fly again, I will hang up my wings!Oh, Gods!!!
