OnDistantShores, I think that "trying to touch the sun" means that he's trying to attain something apart from God. He seems so driven to accomplish something, like his worth is based in achievement. He finally realizes that as he's working apart from God, he is living a lie, a sin. This is the day he realizes his pride and self-sufficiency have caused him to fall away, and only God can mend his wings and lift his soul... Only with God can we fly high enough to accomplish something great (The whole flying metaphor is reminiscent of FIF's Every New Day).
