Near The Sun

I never thought I could get near the sun this close
And not be burned
My fear of running high upon the hills and fall
Has disappeared
I can put on my fake and almost real pair of wings
And I can play with the wind and lay on it
And just drift in

I might get hurt
I might lose things
But I know I know I'll reach the star
Someday I'll find the secret path to a greater hope
A better sky to fly away from here

I never thought I could dive in the sea this long
Without breathing
The sound of silence is breaking my ears
But I'm free so I'll stay still

I can let myself go
And forget all the craziness
Of this world down below
The things they do
The subtle blow

I might get hurt
I might get lost
But I know I know I'll reach the star
Someday I'll find the secret path
To a greater land of better life
