Go fly a kite Tie your troubles to the tail There's joy flying by Bring your daughters for the day The day is nearer to darkness Let the breeze wash away all your tears It's not heavy It's just easier here Throw your arms Around your lover for a while I still make a pretty sound Just to make you smile Just like my kite When it is flying With the eagle up in the clouds I am flying just like the eagle Nothing can stop me now Listening to the radio hour His voice rolls on like the tide I wish I was born way back then I'd fly my kite All the time And I would never think to worry I would never feel any pain I would lie my head on my pillow And dream of flying my kite again
