The alan parson project too close to the sun lyrics

(Parsons, Bairnson, Elliott)



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 now the wind is under our 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 now the wind is under our 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
