Kiteman

I know a boy who ached to touch the sky

All his life he tried to rise

And through the years he made a solemn vow

To reach the light and bring it down

Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high far up in the sky at night

With string and dreams he sent his message high:

"if only I could likewise fly

I'd pass above the very stratosphere

Without a tear or care inside."

Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high high up in the sky

Goodnight - and the wind in the kite

In the moonlight he rides, he rides

I know a boy who couldn't stand the ground

And always he was skyward bound

The saddest thing is he's up there now

But all he says is he wants to come down

Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high way up in the sky

"I want to come down now"
