Call Me Icarus

Call me Icarus
	and though I may not touch the sun,
I rise and soar beyond this earth
	 touching freedom, myself I have become..

Call me Icarus
	and though today’s flight finds me alone
I loved and burned
	with desires taking me beyond the known.

Call me Icarus
	and know that without your precious love
I ride forever in and on the clouds
	on feathered wings of doves.
