[Intro: kids laughing, a bicycle bell rings] [Verse 1] Tommy's got a stick and a busted shoe, Chases pigeons through the morning dew. Cardboard box is a rocket ship, Muddy hands and a chipped front tooth. He don't own much, but he owns the day, Waves at strangers, then he's on his way. [Chorus] Hold what you got, let the rest roll by, Happiness is a kite when the wind is high. Tommy says the world's a pretty good deal, If you stop and look, you can see how it feels. [Verse 2] Ice cream truck on a Sunday noon, Tommy's dancing to a busted tune. He shares his cone with a scruffy stray, Laughs when the sky turns a rainy grey. Puddles are oceans, a curb is a stage, Every single hour is a brand-new page. [Chorus] Hold what you got, let the rest roll by, Happiness is a kite when the wind is high. Tommy says the world's a pretty good deal, If you stop and look, you can see how it feels. [Bridge] He don't have a phone, don't need a plan, He has a pocket of stones and a dirty hand. But he's richer than the kings on the billboard signs, 'Cause he knows the sun still shines behind the pines. [Chorus] Hold what you got, let the rest roll by, Happiness is a kite when the wind is high. Tommy says the world's a pretty good deal, If you stop and look, you can see how it feels.
