from DLDown's 2009 album "Also, He Made the Stars..."
lyrics
Flying high on wings of pride
Looping and soaring across the sky
Freedom of my own design
Who needs a Father's advice?
Lazy gliding across the blue
Always knew I could do without you
Closer to the sun for a better view
Maybe to Heaven I can break through
Seen too late, the edges curl
Feathers scorch and knots unfurl
Softening wax and trembling fear
A desperate swoop for cooler air
Flapping, drowning, frozen heart
Dreams, ambitions fall apart
Vertigo and effort spent
Icarus starts his long descent
I'm falling!
Spiralling down
In my fear I am drowning
My arrogance is taking its toll
Oh God, if you're there
Would you hear me and spare me
Reach out and break my fall
I'm falling
Forsaking my crown
This world drags me down
This sin will be the death of us all
But by grace arranged
My wrongs are exchanged
For a parachute that I could never earn
I'm falling...
Into your arms again
