Kite Song

The Sunday after there was laughter in the air Everybody had a kite They were flying everywhere And all the trouble went away And it wasn't just a dream All the trouble went away And it wasn't just a dream In the middle of the night We try and try with all our mights To light a little light down here In the middle of the night We dream of a million kites Flying high above The sadness and the fear Little sister just remember As you wander through the blue The little kite that you sent flying On a sunny afternoon Made of something light as nothing Made of joy that matters too How the little dreams we dream Are all we can really do In the middle of the night The world turns with all of it's might A little diamond colored blue In the middle of the night We keep sending little kites Until a little light gets through --- Kite Song - Patty Griffin
