(Intro)
One day you're soaring to the sun with the eagles
One day you're Icarus and you're melting with your wings
(Prechorus)
Teach me to know my limitations
Teach me to number my days
Teach me the principles of ashes and of dust
And how every vapor vanishes away
(Chorus)
What more is life than valleys and mountains?
What more is life than deserts and streams?
One day you're soaring to the sun with the eagles
One day you're Icarus and you're melting with your wings
(Verse 1)
I dove head first into the deepest ocean
And found refreshment in the running rill
But no land can make you long for living water
Like forty years of desert dwelling will
(Prechorus)
Teach me to number up my blessings
Count them out and name them one by one
Be thankful for the cloud and the clearing
It will remind me of everything you've done
(Chorus)
What more is life than valleys and mountains?
What more is life than deserts and streams?
One day you're soaring to the sun with the eagles
One day you're Icarus and you're melting with your wings
One day you're Icarus and you're melting with your wings1
