Kites Without Strings
by 77s

I was high,
Like a kite, you pulled me through,
When you ran, I followed you,
Clipped at the wings, you held all my strings,
I was taught, but never learned a thing.

Is it any wonder I came crashing down?
When I did, I hit solid ground, (so hard)
Was it all a blunder, or were all those years I spent, head in clouds, Heaven sent?

Gotta learn to walk before you run,
You flew before you learned either one,
Now you're gone, you're gone,
Now you're gone, you're gone.

Tangled in you, I aimed for the wild blue,
And I hit the ground; what a bitter earth I found,
Kites without strings fly on to bigger things, but you brought me down,
You were determined, I was bound.

You can't fly away from who you are,
You tried, and you drifted way too far,
Now you're gone, you're gone,
Now you're gone, you're gone.

Flying on the ground is always wrong,
I let it go, but you kept holding on,
Now you're gone, you're gone,
Now you're gone, you're gone,
Now you're gone, you're gone,
Now you're gone, you're gone.
