You know I once knew a kid called Icarus whose mother told him he was gonna be the best of us
Born into a world to where all that you could long for in a life came easy
Childhood was a parlor game before the second that the boy could ever speak his name
In middle of the ladder he was never gonna struggle life was nothing much more than a breeze yeah
But was it ever gonna be enough?
Now his dad was a big shot 'oats and bran and make your money in the rat race' kind of man
Not much of a family guy save for the swagger he could chase with cheques paid
Each birthday a bag of toys to make him feel like he was better than the other boys
From the back seat of the Bentley ever listening intently to the words that he heard his dad say
Boy is it ever gonna be enough?
Now I don't know if it's cruel or it's kind to believe that you're bound for the stars
But if you don't know just how high up you stand can you know just how distant you are?
And if your mother tells you
You could climb any mountain
You could dive to the depths of the sea
Should you try you could probably fly can you help but believe it to be?
You know I once knew a kid called Icarus, who found the notion he could fail to be ridiculous
Walked into the world believing what he wanted he could reach or rise to
Penthouse full of paper dreams but didn't wanna do the work to really stitch the seams
When it's nature verses nurture and your driven by a chauffeur can you help but believe that the hype's true?
And is it never gonna be enough?
Now I don't know if it's cruel or it's kind to be handed the keys to it all
But if you don't know just how high up you stand can you know just how far's left to fall
And if the people tell you
You could climb any mountain
You could dive to the depths of the sea
Should you try you could probably fly could you help but believe it to be?
Some might say he was doomed from the start to be born with a breathtaking view
Some might say that we fly and we fall on the tales that we're told to be true
A lament for the kid called Icarus whose mother told him he was better than the rest of us
Crashed back to the world to find a flock of feathers and a broken back bone
Mountains are a bitch to climb and if you wanna get the part you gotta learn the lines
Coz' there's nothing wrong with dreaming if you're looking at the ceiling but your nose better be to that grindstone
And is it ever gonna be enough?
Oh is it ever gonna be enough?
Won't you tell me is it ever gonna be enough?
Born into a world to where all that you could long for in a life came easy
Childhood was a parlor game before the second that the boy could ever speak his name
In middle of the ladder he was never gonna struggle life was nothing much more than a breeze yeah
But was it ever gonna be enough?
Now his dad was a big shot 'oats and bran and make your money in the rat race' kind of man
