Kite by U2

Something Is about to give
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it means

I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to live
And when I'm flat on my back
I hope to feel like I did

And hardness
It sets in
You need some protection
The thinner the skin

I want you to know
That you don't need me anymore
I want you to know
You don't need anyone
Or anything at all

Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know
Which way the wind will blow

Who's to know when the time has come around
Don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye

It's summer, I can taste the salty sea
There's a kite blowing out of control on the breeze
I wonder what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me

I'm a man
I'm not a child
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes

Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know
Where the wind will blow

Who's to know when the time has come around
I don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye

Did I waste it
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Rooftop to the basement

The last of the rock stars
When hip hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
That was the big idea


This song makes me think about my dad a lot. I've been away from home for about 5 years now. About six months after I came down here my mom told me that she found my dad crying. She said that he was telling her that he felt like we had all left him. He was talking about me and my brothers. I was the last one to leave home. Which was difficult for him. Everytime I visit home and I get ready to leave he is the last one I hugh. I cry everytime. Its going to be about 10 months since the last time I talked to him. I miss the guy. There is a chance i might get to see them at the end of this month. I'm looking forward to that.
