I wrote this for a program in college
Oh Icarus, foolish Icarus
Do not fly too high,
You have broken many things
Man wasn't meant to fly

Oh Icarus, foolish Icarus
Your father has set you loose,
You can fly with the eagle strong,
but you cannot fly with Zeus

Oh Icarus, foolish Icarus
Waves will master you,
Your father has worked so hard
To see the world a new

Oh Icarus, foolish Icarus
Now you're worlds apart,
You have broken many things
Now it is your father's heart
