I remember when I was twelve, all I wanted to do was drive
Then I guess I'd meet the love of my life and we'd settle down with time
I guess I was just a kite, Holding onto the wind that blew my hope higher than my dreams
But now that time is gone and the wind is dying down
(But I won't give up)

I see the ground approaching fast, but this flight will not be my last
No I just wanna keep holding onto the wind yeah
I worked so hard to get here, so I'm gonna fly with no fear
I'm not giving up, not giving up tonight
No, no

One night you grabbed my strings, pulled my up and made me sing
Now the wind fought back but I'm to strong I didn't bend or break or even crack no
I once had these goals but now I'm just ripping holes in the fabric, the fabric of my mind, yeah
I know I'm old and these holes they shackle my life
(But I won't give up)

I see the ground approaching fast
But then I think of all my past and it makes me wanna just keep holding onto the wind, yeah
I know I have these holes but I'm just getting older and I'm losing my grip on the wind, yeah

Here it is, it's coming up fast now
The kite begins to cry out and with everything that I have left I'm gonna hold on till the last breath
And the wind it keeps on changing and my grip it keeps on fading
I'm starting to give up now but please don't count me out
I see the ground approaching fast, I brace and wait for impact
I think I've lost all hold on the wind, yeah
My voice is lost in the night
The future doesn't look bright
This might be the end of this kite, but I'll continue to fight

This is it thank you friend
I hope you'll come again
This might just be the end but
I'm not giving up
