Free


This is my kite
On the ground she lay
First time to launch her is today...

See her clothed in bright white sheath
laying on the ground at my feet
Like an angel she does lay
with silent virgin grace

Attach a chord so I can sail her again
and a rainbow band of warning
for curious, unaware passers by
In a few minutes she shall fly

A little tug here
A little nudge there
Oh!  ...she's ten feet
in the air

See those spinners,
bright, bright, bright
Attach them one by one
until the decorating is all done

See them spinning round, round, round
catching the wind
with the kite jerking up and down
She's almost flight bound

A little more slack
and we'll fly some banners
...many memories
>From quite a long aways back

And to finish it off...
Three long lanky strips of red, green, and blue
And my favourite little fish spinner
just for you.

Off she sails toward the sky
Oh no!  A tree...
Whew!  ...just missed that one...
We just made it by...

Up, up, up
Toward the heavenly sky
She'll fly, fl, f
                 ...free...
