Perhaps Icarus Was Right

Perhaps Icarus was right all along

Perhaps the sun is worth the risk of the fall

Perhaps his heart was never supposed to be small

Maybe our wings were only ever meant to take us so far 

Maybe the purpose of home was always to show us the star

Maybe dreams are out of reach 

Maybe there’s something they have to teach 

Perhaps the sun is worth the fall 

Perhaps the fall is not a consequence at all 

Perhaps Icarus was right all along
