Kiteman

I know a boy who ached to touch the sky
All his life he tried to rise
And through the years he made a solemn vow
To reach the light and bring it down
Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high
Far up in the sky at night...

With string and dreams he sent his message high
"If only I could likewise fly
I'd pass above the very stratosphere
Without a tear or care inside."

Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high
Far up in the sky at night
Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high
High up in the sky, goodnight
And the wind and the kite
In the moonlight he rides, he rides.

[There he goes]

I know a boy who couldn't stand the ground
And always he was skyward bound
The saddest thing is he's up there now,
But all he says is he wants to come down
"I want to come down now"
Oh the kiteman fly, the kiteman fly
Far up in the sky at night
Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high
Way up in the sky...

Far up in the sky
And the wind and the kite
In the moonlight he rides, he rides
He cries,
"Please, I want to come down now
Please, mother, I want to come down now
Please, I want to come down now..."
