Winds can destroy a tower:

Steve with a kite on the IL prairie

the trees can break–no power…

but winds can lift a kite!

…

A hurricane is awesome:

with floods and death quite

gruesome…

but the wind can lift a kite!

…

Tornadoes rage in summer:

what was a house–now lumber…

but the wind can lift a kite!

…

A delta or a fighter,

a diamond or a stunter…

Yes, the wind can lift a kite!

…

A small child can hold the line,

a man’s kite can cheer his wife…

yes, a kite can lift a life…
