Tell Me, Icarus

Tell me, Icarus,
What do you see?
I see a thousand faces
Looking up at me.
Tell me, Icarus,
What do you hear?
I hear the Voice of God
Whispering in my ear.
Tell me, Icarus,
What does He say?
He says that I’ve made
A big mistake today.
Fly, fly, fly
Till you can’t fly
Anymore.
Try, try, try,
Till you can’t try
Anymore.
Tell me, Icarus,
What do you feel?
I feel the wax coming off
Like a banana peel.
Tell me, Icarus,
What do you hear?
I hear nothing, nothing
But the sound of fear.
Tell me, Icarus,
What do you see?
I see the cold, hard ground
Rushing up at me.
Fly, fly, fly
Till you can’t fly
Anymore.
Try, try, try,
Till you can’t try
Anymore.
Tell me, Icarus,
What do you feel?
I feel like I’m floating
And none of this is real.
Tell me, Icarus,
What do you hear?
I hear the Voice of God
Whispering in my ear.
Tell me, Icarus,
What does He say?
He says, «My son,
You’re welcome here today.
