Kite Song Lyrics - Yoko Ono

I flew a kite, I held on tight to its string 

Each time I go anywhere, I held on tight 

In the middle of the night I woke up in fright 

Thinking maybe in my dream I let go my kite 

When I was in a restaurant talking to my friends 

Watching their mouths move faster and faster 

I thought of the kite that was flying the sky 

And made sure that my hand was holding the string 

That was long time ago 

Many skies went by since then 

Now my hands stopped holding anything 

And I've learned to take a walk instead 

Then one day in an evening light 

I saw something strange shining bright 

The sky was dark with swarms of larks 

And in the midst of it all, yes, it was my kite 

How did the kite get there? I never know 

Floating away among the clouds to where nobody knows 

I held my gun with both my hands 

Slowly aiming at the shining dot 

The shot went off, that dot blew off 

Since then I've never seen the kite again
