Verse 1
Cut a few bamboo branches grind away all sharp edges gently
Tie and bundle them neat teach you measure and courtesy
Paste a piece of plain paper stitch with care never carelessly
Even if storms come I build a gentle shelter for you endlessly
Twist the thread slowly wrap all my worries around it tenderly
Every carve and polish is love’s careful teaching entirely
Verse 2
When the kite takes shape warmth and pride fill my eyes
All my hopes long for you to run to the skies
Step into the wilderness wind stirs waves in my heart deep
Watching you take off is my deepest love to keep
Chorus
I thought smooth wind could help you fly higher and higher
Never knew drifting with wind only against wind can you soar
Clench the string too tight afraid to bind your wings no more
Loosen it too much afraid you’ll lose your way explore
Raising a child is like making a kite love grows with hands we adore
In words and deeds grasp the measure guard gently evermore
Choose the right breezy day find the distant path you adore
This pull and release is the best form of love to the core
Bridge
If others raise you instead there’s no warmth from palm’s caress
Only chasing beautiful appearance not knowing your heart’s progress
When storms rage hard I’ll be your safe haven no less
Don’t rush don’t force wait quietly for you to show your best
Outro
Kite-making shadows at fingertips longing in heart never parts
Nurture growth with heart live up to the youth’s bright starts
