Song Lyrics |
|
|
I am a kite
I have no wings and yet I fly
You hold the string for me
As I float on high
I am a kite
Paper and string, a scrap of wood
The wind will sing to me
I am a bird
See how I ride
A butterfly with wings spread wide
I'm but a child's plaything
You give me life
Tied to your hand
Your spirit with me rides
I look down on where you stand
Lift you up to my side
I am a kite
A bright balloon with a wayward tail
Race to the moon
On breaths of moving sky I sail
I am a kite
I have no wings and yet I fly
You hold the string for me
As I float on high |

Song Notes |
|
| Actually, this song has a kind of strange origin. I was ticked off at someone, and kind of exploded at him. As I was trying to return to a peaceful state, I got the idea for “I am a kite..”. I was driving - generally a good songwriting situation for me - and I think that “popping the cork” was just what I needed to let that song come out. “I Am a Kite” sat for a year after that, as all the music I came up with sounded too corny. Then one day as I sat outside in the sun, some fitting music came to mind and I allowed it to reshape the lyrics a little, resulting in the song as it was recorded here. |
