Hello, I am Icarus
I think I don't remember
I run in my labyrinth
An hour of air a day
I've been here for a century
On the ground like a petal I will die
With two thousand thorns around my neck

Rightly accused of free will
A crime that has always bothered power
Because I dreamed of flying too high
Because I thought that every man on earth is a saint
If everything is now forbidden, I don't care and I sing
I don't care and I sing

Icarus is free, free
In body and spirit
Free, free yes
Even if they don't say it
Icarus is free, free
In body and spirit
Icarus is free yes
So much the voices you know go around

It's not as they say
The worst maybe is something else
While you swim in Mykonos
I hold back the tears
Behind these walls a cobalt sky descends
I don't see gray because I only look up

They cut my wings with shears
To never make me want to fly again
But even if I stand still, you know the wind comes
Even if I stand still, I'm not here anymore
Because I chose to fly too high again
Sure that every man on earth is a saint

Icarus is free, free
In body and spirit
Free, free yes
Even if they don't say it
Icarus is free, free
In body and spirit
Icarus is free yes
And he doesn't back down an inch

Because flight is a thought that cannot be stopped
Carved in a statue or written in a mural
And freer than air can hurt
But it's the only thing that
But it's the only thing that
But it's the only thing that can save you

Icarus is free, free
In body and spirit
Free, free yes
Even if they don't say it
Icarus is free, free
In body and spirit
Free, free yes
So much the voices go around
