The Kite, Plus You, Plus Me





You have to run if you want to make it fly,
Head against approaching winds 
So it can slowly reach the sky.
Steadily unravel the thread and let it rise
An amazing thing is happening right before your eyes.

**Watch it fly...Watch it glide
Watch the kite making its climb
Ready to feel...Something real
Letting child like naiveté be our guide.**

Lose yourself and never mind your predetermined path
Never knowing what's to come,  
Just zig zagging along the grass.
Glancing behind only to see how it's progressed
How long it'll last at it's highest point 
Is anybody's guess.

**Watch it fly...Watch it glide
Watch the kite making its climb
Ready to feel...Something real
Letting child like naiveté be our guide.**

Can't remember feeling so above the ground.
Don't recall this feeling of having someone around.
Couldn't tell you the last time I've felt this, if I tried.
Wouldn't know how to describe
When happiness makes u cry,

Two pairs of eyes come together in perceiving
Potential in a world of trust where no one is deceiving.
All that's here is what you see 
A kite, a boy a girl. 
Enjoying life, growing free
Let's give this thing a whirl.

The kite plus you plus me.

**Watch it fly...Watch it glide
Watch the kite making its climb
Ready to feel...Something real
Letting child like naiveté be our guide.**
