lyrics

Nobody taught me I was born to be a master of the flying kite
Conjuring up my dynamic moves by practising alone at night
Here in the dark is where I can be who I want to be
Happily flying you high and low this is the life for me

Three weeks later and I ventured out
With the confidence to fly in the daytime
Seeing you rise 20 feet above my head like a ray of sunshine
Here in the park is where I can be who I want to be
Happily flying you high and low this is the life for me

But when the people went by I'd lose
All control of you I felt a fool
Oh I wish I could soar she said
And then a gust of wind to my surprise had blew
Her up high into the sky
She turned and coiled then spread her frame and like an eagle flew
Where the air is clear as I kept tight hold of you

Afterwards a couple came up to me "one of you could go far" he said
"Ever thought of entering into a competition?"
"You could be a star!" she said
It hadn't really ever occurred to me it's something that I just like to do "Anyway thank you for you coming over that's very kind of you"

So he walked home, the day on his mind
A little voice popped in his head
"All you ever you do is pull a string or two don't think too much into what they said"

Can't believe that I'm having a conversation with a kite
But stranger things have happened on a lonely night

Oh I wish I could soar like you

And then a gust, then a gust, then a gust, then a gust
And then a gust of wind to my surprise had blew
Me up high into the sky
I turned and coiled and spread my arms and like an eagle flew
Never once felt so alive
Floating down to you

I love
I love
I love flying my kite
I love flying my kite
