Fly Icarus Fly

Flight to freedom
Hubris of youth
Hope for greatness
Your abundant will
Youth sees no reason
Vanity ignores truth
The hope to be famous
Leads to being unfulfilled
Icarus oh Icarus
Your path was certain
Follow your father
Know your future
But the sun is burning
Know you cannot survive
Striking the earth
And remaining alive



"Never regret thy fall,
O Icarus of the fearless flight
For the greatest tragedy of them all 
Is never to feel the burning light."  Oscar Wilde
