From the recording Preface to a Dream
Lyrics
Kite
(E.J. Geel)
Every time I look at the sky that kite is hanging there
High above the hills that make the only barrier
I looked over someone’s shoulder for something to last
And woke up in a gray and dusty past
Kite, fly
Kite, fly, as high as you can, as high as you can.
Don’t look down upon our madness, it will make you sad
Millions of eyes that focus on some point ahead
Herds of people pushing their way through the streets
The dream laying crushed under our feet
Kite, fly
Kite, fly, as high as you can, as high as you can
For there’s no way to ever understand this world we live in
Fly on, free and easy
To where the mind can still breathe
To where the heart still beats with passion
Kite, fly
Kite, fly
Every time I look at the sky that kite is hanging there
It’s there for the joy of man, but no one seems to care
It’s all about how deep we bleed and how high we score
No one seems to want it anymore
Kite, fly
Kite, fly
Kite, fly
Kite, fly, as high as you can.
