Like a kite on the string in the air
And skies above the earth defying
Upward pull but string back to earth
Stuck in trees flowers and green leaves
Strong current of air breaks free the string
Rhythm in dance step into step to the heights
On bouncy of air when in freedom the spirit
United with soul to let the passion wanton
Beloved like a free kite on surface of wind
From blue skies loosened into cloud nine
In slow flight on my way one day and take me
With the birds to the valley of love enchanted
With out strings and loosened from all bonds
