Midnight Kites

Under the moon, we whisper secrets, silent and slow

Paper wings in the night, ready to go

We let them fly, fragile and free, in the velvet sky

Kiss the stars with hopes so high, wish they wouldn’t die

Strings around our trembling hands, hold our dreams tight

Shadowed figures watching, lost in the moonlight

Why do they soar when we stay grounded?

Chasing a whisper that keeps us haunted

Midnight kites, dancing in the dark

Leaving us longing for that lost spark

Midnight kites, tell us your secrets

Wings so light, so fearless and reckless

Why do they rise while we stay low?

Chasing the breeze, never too slow

Midnight kites, in the silent night

Guide our hearts, ignite our flight

Tangled up in shifting winds, our dreams, our fears

Waiting for the dawn, counting the passing years

Can we reach the sky, break free from these ties?

Or are we destined to watch, as they rise high

Under the moon, with paper wings, we dream anew

Watching midnight kites, as they break through

Why do they fly, while we remain slow?

In the quiet night, let our hopes grow
