Fogelberg, Dan - Icarus Ascending Lyrics
Soaring alone upon a threatening wind
Just fix your eyes on the horizon
Cut off from everything you’ve known or have been
I shouldn’t think it’s so surprisin’
Spiraling upward on a freshening lift
You have been given the most sacred of gifts
You must be fearless now and follow
[Chorus:]
Don’t look down
Though your heart may be weary
Don’t look down
Though your wings are on fire
Don’t look down
Though the night may seem endless
this fast and this far
Let your faith be your strength
And your love be your guiding star
Venturing further than the length of your sight
Out past the reach of your beginnings
There is a gamble in each proud act of flight
But the losses pale before the winnings
Circling and diving with this freedom you’ve found
Illusion blows apart and scatters
There is no darkness in this place that we're bound
Love is the only thing that matters
[Chorus]
Up.....up.....up.....up.....

Fogelberg, Dan Icarus Ascending Comments
Last night was my John Denver night.
Tonight, it's Dan.
And I realize again, just what we've lost.
The voices and dreams of those who never had the talent to voice them aloud.
And my heart misses them.
So beautiful.
This song has gotten me through some tough times. Thanks Dan ❤😟
It continues to blow me away how many of his songs I have yet heard. This being one. I have loved the mans music since Home Free!
