Kite

I hid myself from failure and fear.
Oh, my dear, you're a threat to the bad in us all.
They tell themselves that each word from your lips,
Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall.

Over the twilight you're listening for me.
Darling, go to sleep.
Cradled by moonlight,
I'm dreaming we'll be loved so deep.

Floating and fighting like a kite on a string.
Till you cut through my tether, and changed everything.
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same.
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name.

And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite,
You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight.
Don't hide yourself inside till I'm old.
Oh, my dear, you're a threat to the bad we all see.

I'm beside myself for the touch of your lips,
Or the grace of your eyes that can see good in me.
Over the twilight you're listening for me.
Darling, go to sleep.

Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be loved so deep.
Floating and fighting like a kite on a string.
Till you cut through my tether, and changed everything.
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same.

So I darted back quickly to spell out your name.
And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite,
You'll tell them you're proud of my marvellous flight.
