Icarus

    Dad, We Love You

    1993

    You hear the news, the dice is cast
    Nature's cruel sentence passed
    What hope there was just seems to fade
    The matter's closed, the choices made

    It's like the walls are caving in
    Your heartbeat aches, your feelings spin
    You want to cry, you want to shout
    You want to help, you've been shut out

    Where's the justice? Who's to blame?
    Why does it have to end this way?
    Let me speak, this is my cue
    Let me in, I love him too!

    And feeling hopeless, we stand by
    We see your pain, your head's held high
    We know in time that you'll pull through
    'Til then, remember: we love you
