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)
