In an world where you are the sun

You burn bright for everyone to see

Showing your love and beauty for everyone to see

And I feel selfish for thinking it could have been for me

In a world where you are the sun

Giving light and hope to those below

Showing strength and forgiveness to those below

Casting a shadow over me with your glow

In a world where you are the sun

I am Icarus with arms stretched out towards you

Attention captivated and stolen by you

And so I flew

In a world where you are the sun

I am Icarus who took flight without warning

Who ignored every sign and every warning

Only wanting your light on my wings adorning

But in this world where you are the sun

You grew to harsh with a searing light

Burning down with your hot, bright light

Leaving me without any sense of sight

In this world where you are the sun

Light and happiness is others perception

But I am without perception

Falling into your pits of deception

In this world where you are the sun

I am Icarus who heard but never listened

Who knew the consequences but never listened

Just wanted what you could give because you glistened

In this world where you are the sun

I am Icarus who understood his fate

Grinned up to the sun and laughed as he fell to his fate

Knowing that he was able to reach the sun and it felt great
