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 high up in the sky Goodnight - and the wind in the kite In the moonlight he rides, he rides 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 Oh the kiteman fly his kite so high way up in the sky "I want to come down now"
