Teach You to Fly

Superman what have you done
Have you flown too near the sun
Ikarus has fallen, he sings with the dying swan
The hope of paradise, is now gone
Don’t you cry my only son
For they know not what they have done
Everything will be alright
I’ll take a feather from the eagle and I’ll teach you to fly

Land of the free
And the dead young brave
Built your home, on the life he gave
The old man hides his face from the mountain breeze
Living isn’t living, when your standing on your knees

CHORUS
Don’t you cry my only son
With the dark clouds I will run
Everything will be alright
I’ll take a feather from my hair and I’ll teach you to fly

They took him from his home
Tarred and feathered, nailed to a pole
Guilty of the crime, of being born
Burned him alive on his front lawn
Don’t you cry my only son
Tell your mother where I have gone
Everything will be alright
I’ll take a feather from the ashes and I’ll teach you to fly

Brothers and sisters, have you none
Can you hear your brother’s son
He’s telling you to listen, you better listen well
If you keep digging those holes deeper
You’re going to end up in hell

For one thousand and one nights
You have set the skies alight
The day hides behind, a blackened sun
History has ended, where it had begun
Don’t you cry my only son
From this place I will return
Everything will be alright
I’ll take a feather from the Phoenix and I’ll teach you to fly

Superman, what have you done
We’ve been waiting for you so long
But in your arms, I cannot breath
So this what it feels like, to be free
Don’t you cry my only son
For they know not what they have done
Everything will be alright
I’ll take a feather from the eagle and I’ll teach you to fly
