Falling Through the Sky

 
 
Hubris into nemesis
Into the abyss
But if you know who you are
You can be a star
And then even if you fall
You were after all

If when falling through the sky
You learn how to fly
Even falling all the way
Flying anyway
I did this and bounced out of
The abyss by love

Like Icarus I meant to
Soar up to the sun
Unlike him to be the one
To so I went to
Though like him the myth came true
Icarus undone

Hubris into nemesis
Flying nonetheless
Falling through the sky showed me
What I had to see
My past no longer present
Was not what I meant

I forgot a lot but I
Do remember this
Through with sadness then I knew
What I had to do
Through the madness through the fear
I had to be here

Through with yesterday to say
Here I am today
