Call it a fall
And he’s not so much the price for
Something you’ve done
As the natural progression
Of feathers and wax in the sun

Sometimes in life

To heaven below
Daedalus, fly
Oceans roll by
Rocking your baby

This inheritance for angels
In manufactured wings?

What did he see?
What does he know?
You brought him up
You let him go
Daedalus, fly
Oceans roll by
Rocking your baby

How un-endless is the carousel of death and life?
Forever parting 'til the end of time
Daedalus, fly

And call it a fall
One more Eve who paid the price for
Wanting to know
One more Sisyphus
Who struggles forward, heavy and slow

But in the end, who had it right?
Burn for the day,
Or run for the night?
Daedalus, fly
Oceans roll by
Rocking your baby
Daedalus, fly
Oceans roll by
Rocking your
