She burns and drinks it in
She soaks up the sun with her skin
It kisses her hair
Changes her colors
Keeps her warm
Engulfed in a blanket of comfort
She closes her eyes
She is a goddess
A sunrise
Misunderstood
Soft Spoken
A wild girl on the run
She flees through the forest
With the heart of a lioness
She has a temptation for danger
An ache to fly away
Taste for a poisonous thrill
The speed quickens everyday
Soon she'll lift up to the sky
She'll soar high with eager hungry eyes
Her heartbeat canters
She's certain of what she wants
But she must put on armor
A goddess must always guard her heart
Her heart is what carries her soul
And her soul carries his wings
She is the daughter of Icarus
Lover of Apollo
She'll take flight to the sun
When the cold comes she'll die
What is done must be done
No one dares to watch her fly
For she might find Elysium
Yet a goddess knows her place in the sky
She'll never be a victim of her father's lie.

She burns and drinks it in
She soaks up the sun with her skin
It kisses her hair
Changes her colors
Keeps her warm
Engulfed in a blanket of comfort
She closes her eyes
She is a goddess
A sunrise
Misunderstood
Soft Spoken
A wild girl on the run
She flees through the forest
With the heart of a lioness
She has a temptation for danger
An ache to fly away
Taste for a poisonous thrill
The speed quickens everyday
Soon she'll lift up to the sky
She'll soar high with eager hungry eyes
Her heartbeat canters
She's certain of what she wants
But she must put on armor
A goddess must always guard her heart
Her heart is what carries her soul
And her soul carries his wings
She is the daughter of Icarus
Lover of Apollo
She'll take flight to the sun
When the cold comes she'll die
What is done must be done
No one dares to watch her fly
For she might find Elysium
Yet a goddess knows her place in the sky
She'll never be a victim of her father's lie.
