Verse 1
I once made with my own hands that light and graceful kite
Sewed all my gentle love into its paper bones and string’s sight
Watch it ride the wind pass through green hills and morning light
Two ends of the string hold all my fervor day and night
Verse 2
Wind sweeps across the clouds urging it to leave quietly
I clench the long string tight can’t keep the pace of time’s brevity
After all the wind is gentle breaking the bondage in my heart finally
It embraces freedom rushes to mountains rivers and new scenery
Chorus
The kite finally breaks the string drifting to the clouds unknown
No one holds tight that thread of longing alone
Look up at the sky longing turns into clouds full-blown
Every blank space hides silent fulfillment and blessings unknown
Bridge
I always thought the long string could hold all the time I’ve known
Yet I understand the road of growth I have to let you go alone
Gentleness hides in eyes memories flood the way home
Those years of companionship have long been carved into my heart and bone
Outro
Kite chases clouds gently soars high to the end of the world
Endless blank in the long sky longing settles in youth’s pearl
Ride the wind to distant places there will be mountains and seas as your world
A thought flies away with the wind the rest of life is full of elegant pearl
