There must be a thousand ways   Holding us within this maze   Every path we take, leads us astray      Comfort me, my only son   Till the day my work is done   There's no earthly reason, we should stay      And when the wind gets under these wings   You will feel what freedom brings   Stay right by me, walk, don't run   I don't want you flying too close to the sun      Turn your eyes towards the light   Steal away in silent flight   The skies are calling out to you and me      Over sea and over land   God protect us with your hand   Bring us safely to our destiny      And when the wind gets under these wings   We can taste what freedom brings   Stay right by me, walk, don't run   I don't want you flying too close to the sun      God, forgive his fall from grace   The sea conceals his resting place   Can we learn to stay behind the line?      If we have the means to fly   Some of us will surely die   Being reckless was his only crime      And when the wind gets under these wings   We can taste what freedom brings   Stay right by me, walk, don't run   I don't want you flying too close to the sun   Too close to the sun, too close to the sun, too close
