Kite Song
Embracing Hope: Kites, Dreams, and Illuminating Darkness
Lyrics
The Sunday after there was laughter in the air
The atmosphere on the Sunday after was filled with joy and merriment.
Everybody had a kite
Everyone had a kite.
They were flying everywhere
Kites were soaring everywhere, creating a lively scene.
And all the trouble went away
All the problems or difficulties disappeared.
And it wasn't just a dream
The positive change felt real and tangible, not just a fleeting illusion.
All the trouble went away
Similar to the previous line, emphasizing the substantial nature of the positive change.
And it wasn't just a dream
Reiteration of the idea that the positive transformation was not a mere dream.
In the middle of the night
During the nighttime, there is persistent effort to bring light into the world.
We try and try with all our mights
Continued attempts with great effort.
To light a little light down here
Desire to illuminate the darkness with a small light.
In the middle of the night
Similar to line 9, emphasizing the nighttime struggle for light.
We dream of a million kites
Imagining numerous kites in dreams during the night.
Flying high above
These kites are envisioned soaring high, symbolizing overcoming sadness and fear.
The sadness and the fear
The kites represent a way to transcend negative emotions.
Little sister just remember
A message to a little sister, advising her to remember.
As you wander through the blue
While navigating through life's challenges.
The little kite that you sent flying
Recalling a kite sent into the sky on a sunny day.
On a sunny afternoon
Constructed from something light, signifying the importance of lightness and joy.
Made of something light as nothing
Constructed from joy, underlining the significance of positive emotions.
Made of joy that matters too
Emphasizing that even small dreams matter.
How the little dreams we dream
Our dreams are a significant part of what we can accomplish.
Are all we can really do
Highlighting the limitations of our abilities, suggesting dreams are a meaningful contribution.
In the middle of the night
Revisiting the theme of nighttime struggles.
The world turns with all of it's might
The world continues its rotation with great force.
A little diamond colored blue
Describing a small, precious object with a blue color.
In the middle of the night
Similar to line 26, emphasizing the persistent effort to send kites into the night.
We keep sending little kites
Continued attempts to bring light and positivity through metaphorical kites.
Until a little light gets through
Until a small light breaks through the darkness.
