Icarus - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

He spent all his days in a tower looking over the oceanside

He learned from his father, the Maker, with admiring eyes open wide

Watching the birds as they soared through the sky

He longed for their freedom 'til one passing by

Flew up to the window and said

Come fly away with me, I can show you the world

A world at your feet

Come fly away with me, I can give you the sky

And make you the king

Climb higher, climb higher

There ain't no coming down

Climb higher

He stepped into darkness from light to rescue those that He treasured

He wandered the desert alone to heed the will of His Father

Watching the kingdoms He knew He must save

The tempter of old that leads nations astray

Crept up right beside Him and said

Come fly away with me, I can grant You the world

And all of its kings

Come fly away with me, I can give You the sky

If You'll fall at my feet

Climb higher, climb higher

There ain't no coming down

Climb higher
