lyrics

Living in a maze of a city with no way out
You know I had a plan to escape, but it all went south
I was trapped in this city, I was stuck in this town
Low on money, my luck was down
My only motive was to cross that ocean to freedom

Well I tried to touch the sun, but I aimed too high, now I'm falling
Yeah I tried to touch the sun, but I aimed too high, now I'm falling
To my knees
And I'm blind in both eyes and I cannot see
All this love I have in front of me
Well I tried to touch the sun, but I aimed too high, now I'm falling

They say in this life, just take only what you need
But I got lost in the depths of my greed
Wax on my wings, trying to take flight
Could not suppress my golden appetite
Yeah I lost sight of the road that leads to freedom
Freedom

Well I tried to touch the sun, but I aimed too high, now I'm falling
Yeah I tried to touch the sun, but I aimed too high, now I'm falling
To the sea
And I'm blind in both eyes and I cannot see
All my mistakes will be the death of me
Well I tried to touch the sun, but I aimed too high, now I'm falling

I'm falling on my knees now
And I'm begging the Lord please
Won't you lift me up from this sea of misery
Said I'm falling on my knees now
And I'm begging the Lord please
Won't you lift me up from the sea

They say in this life just take only what you need
But I got lost in the depths of my greed

Well I tried to touch the sun, but I aimed too high, now I'm falling
Said I'm blind in both eyes and I cannot see
All my mistakes now
Yeah I tried to touch the sun, but I aimed too high, now I'm falling
