Verse 1 Two kites up against the sky One yellow, one of blue I wanted them to fly together The way I wanted them to But the wind had other ideas Took them left and right And the harder that I pulled the strings The more they lost their flight Chorus Let the string go loose a little Let them find their own way through Not the same sky, not the same wind But both of them still true You don't have to hold things tightly To keep them close to you Sometimes love means giving space enough For something beautiful to do Verse 2 Watched the yellow climbing higher Watched the blue make lazy rounds Different paths, different currents Different skies above the ground Then the wind brought them together No one pulled, no one steered They flew side by side a moment And it was exactly as I feared — it was beautiful Chorus Let the string go loose a little Let them find their own way through Not the same sky, not the same wind But both of them still true You don't have to hold things tightly To keep them close to you Sometimes love means giving space enough For something beautiful to do Bridge (più lento, quasi parlato) The string was never meant to say which way the kite should go It was just a way of saying I'm still here, even so Outro Let it fly… Trust the wind… Still here…
