Icarus Was Right (2:08)
(M. C. Bruce) Listen

if you see a streak of fire in the sky
that was me - trying to fly
with my wings made out of
feathers, wax and wood
and my desire burning hard
at first I went up quickly
an arrow with the wind
but gravity was jealous
and pulled me back again
now if you look deep
enough into my eyes
you’ll see a small blue piece
of the sky

though I walk among you
it’s still a mystery
why I didn’t fall into the sea
and if sometimes I seem
distant and serene
I’m thinking of colors
few have seen
and those who never tried it
say I flew too close to the sun
but if you could reach and touch it
tell me, what would you have done?
and if you look long enough
into the sky
you’ll see a small dark feather
drifting by
and that’s me - still
trying to fly
