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”
