"Flying Kites" lyrics

Flying kites, flying kites (up above we go)
Flying kites, flying kites (up above we go)

When I was younger
I used to play in rice fields
After the harvest
Under the shade of big trees
Scorching heat that we try to ignore
Running around and playing so much more
When I was younger
I used to play in rice fields

We were flying kites
Up above we go
All our dreams in flight
To wherever the wind blows
So pull on the string against the strong wind
Don't lose your grip and steer your heart in
Flying kites
Up above we go

Then I got older
I went to work in the city
Paycheck to paycheck (paycheck, paycheck)
Tell me, is this what life means
Social pressure we try to avoid
Overthinking got us all paranoid
But then I got older
I got to work in the city

We are flying kites
Up above we go
Reach our dream so high
Whether it takes us far from home
So pull on the string against the strong wind
Don't lose your grip and steer your heart in
Flying kites
Up above we go

While my head's up on the clouds
I'll keep my feet down on the ground
While my head's up on the clouds
I'll keep my feet down on the ground
While my heads up on the clouds
I'll keep my feet down on the ground
While my head's up on the clouds
I'll keep my feet down on the ground

We are flying kites
Up above we go
Reach our dream so high
Whether it takes us far from home
So pull on the string against the strong wind
Don't lose your grip and steer your heart in
Flying kites
Up above we go
