Icarus Survived the Fall

Lyrics
Icarus survived the fall He didn't really die He lived to offer this advice For all of those who try Flying up to reach the sun When warned they'd come to grief You live for stolen moments And all time is a thief Time will steal your youth away And dreams that fire your soul It was not pride or vanity That robbed me of my goal I blame inferior materials When things grew hot Instead of saying how I blew it Look how near I got! Is your cup half-empty Or is your glass half full? Is that guy a fool to try Or is he really cool? Nobody made nothing Who never made mistakes I'm grateful for this opportunity To put things straight
