Fly
Listen to this articleLike Icarus arising on the foolish wings of man
We build our golden stairways, thinking somehow they’ll withstand
All the ravages of time and burning sun
Which steal them from our hand
The atmosphere above the earth will take your breath away
A place of awesome beauty, a place we cannot stay
For without protection keeping us alive
We would pass away
Yet I know of a place that time cannot destroy
Open arms for each man, every women girl and boy
In his word is the way to live and never die
And the hope in the truth of his life
Teaching us to fly
The pyramids and towers, all the kingdoms of this day
Will crumble with the ages, like water pounding on the clay
The power known from an eternal view
Is only for a day
Across the page of history, across the many lands
Across the many mountains, crashing waves and blowing sands
The heart of man is driven to devise
Outside the master’s plans
