[dobro and gutar Instrumental Intro] [drums and bass] [Verse 1] On a day warm and bright, a summer's delight, The sky, a vast canvas of blue, The wind blew light with the occasional gust, And danced with the clouds; what a view! A boy held on tight to his kite, As it soared into the sky. Above the clouds, with the wind nearly touching the sun's eye, A man approached, said hello, Asked the boy, "What'll hap if you let go?" The boy just grinned, his heart full of pride, “She’ll always soar, with me by her side.” [BRIDGE] The wind picked up, the boy stood tall, Holding the string, he felt it all. [Chorus - Soft] I’ll give her wings to touch the sky, In the open winds, she’ll freely fly. We’ll dance together, wild and true, With trust as our bond, there’s nothing we can’t do. I’ll mend her frays, guide her way, And in her freedom, we both will stay. For she’s my kite, my joy, my light, Together we soar, into the endless night. [Fiddle Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] The boy, amused, replied, “She is quite strong. Sometimes the wind takes her far, And I make sure she has lots of string, In fact, enough to touch a star.” “But I never let loose of the line, In strong winds, I hold on tight, And when it lets up, she dances the sky, For she is, after all, a kite." [Chorus - Stronger] I’ll give her wings to touch the sky, In the open winds, she’ll freely fly. We’ll dance together, wild and true, With trust as our bond, there’s nothing we can’t do. I’ll mend her frays, guide her way, And in her freedom, we both will stay. For she’s my kite, my joy, my light, Together we soar, into the endless night. [Bridge] I treat my kite with love, admiring her heart, I let her do what kites are made to do, In the heavens, she writes her reply. I guard my kite and protect her, Looking after her through the days, And if she tears or starts to bend, I mend her and heal her frays. [Chorus - Soft to Strong] I’ll give her wings to touch the sky, In the open winds, she’ll freely fly. We’ll dance together, wild and true, With trust as our bond, there’s nothing we can’t do. [Verse 3 - Climax] This kite is the most precious thing to me, I love the joy that she brings. I treat her with the utmost dignity, For she is my everything. And if there's danger to harm her, I reel her in by my side, Letting her know she is safe with me, And in me, she can confide. [Chorus - Full Band, Emotional] I’ll give her wings to touch the sky, In the open winds, she’ll freely fly. We’ll dance together, wild and true, With trust as our bond, there’s nothing we can’t do. I’ll mend her frays, guide her way, And in her freedom, we both will stay. For she’s my kite, my joy, my light, Together we soar, into the endless night. [Outro - Soft, Reflective] So, back to your question, dear man, How do I keep her from flying away? I give her plenty of string and take care of her, Night and day, night and day.
