Icarus Ascending – Dan Fogelberg – letras

Soaring alone upon a threatening windJust fix your eyes on the horizonCut off from everythingYou’ve known or have beenI shouldn’t think it’s so surprisin’Spiralling upward on a freshening liftReaching the realms of fleet ApolloYou have been given the most sacred of giftsYou must be fearless now and followDon’t look downThough your heart may be wearyDon’t look downThough your wings are on fireDon’t look downThough the night may seem endlessThere’s a reason you’re flyingThis fast and this farLet your faith be your strengthAnd your love be your guiding starVenturing further thanThe length of your sightOut past the reach of your beginningsThere is a gamble in eachProud act of flightBut the losses pale before the winningsCircling and diving with thisFreedom you’ve foundIllusion blows apart and scattersThere is no darkness in this placeThat we’re boundLove is the only thing that mattersDon’t look downThough your heart may be wearyDon’t look downThough your wings are on fireDon’t look downThough the night may seem endlessThere’s a reason you’re flyingThis fast and this farUp…..up…..up…..up…..
