[Verse 1] I found a paper kite in the back of my drawer blue ribbon tail dust on the floor I taped up the rip with a strip of gold went out to the yard where the wind ran bold [Pre-Chorus] Clouds moved low like they knew my name I let it shake then I let it climb [Chorus] Up, up, go paper kite parade Up, up, go let it catch the rain Spin that sky make the whole day glow Up, up, go paper kite parade [Verse 2] Mrs. Lee waved from her chain-link gate Little kid laughed with a red-cheek face My string got tight my shoes got wet I let it tug and I let it set [Pre-Chorus] Clouds moved low like they knew my name I let it shake then I let it climb [Chorus] Up, up, go paper kite parade Up, up, go let it catch the rain Spin that sky make the whole day glow Up, up, go paper kite parade [Bridge] For one clean minute the whole block smiled One small thing made the world feel wild [Chorus] Up, up, go paper kite parade Up, up, go let it catch the rain Spin that sky make the whole day glow Up, up, go paper kite parade
