lyrics

(a kite line unspools — zzzzip)
(hey-o... hey-o...)

My grandpa tied a kite for me
From broken kitchen blinds
Said, hold it like you're brave and free
And let out all the line
(all the line, all the line)

And the wind picked up like a promise
And my little heart unwound
(let it out, let it out)
What's tethered isn't grounded
If it never touches down

String and sky! (hands up!)
String and sky!
Hold the line and let it fly
String and sky! (hey-o!)
String and sky!
String and sky!
(higher! higher! higher!)

He's gone but I still feel the tug
On windy afternoons
A pull from somewhere high above
Like he's flying me back soon
(soon, soon)

And the wind picks up like a promise
(let it out, let it out!)
And forty thousand strangers
Are holding one line now
(3... 2... 1...)

String and sky! (hands up!)
String and sky!
Hold the line and let it fly
String and sky! (hey-o!)
String and sky!
String and sky!

If you ever feel the line go slack
Don't you reel it in with dread
(easy now, easy)
Some kites don't come back
They just fly for us instead

String and sky! (for him!)
String and sky!
Hold the line and let it fly
String and sky!
String and sky!

(hey-o... hey-o...)
(let out all the line)
