Kite Songtext
von 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's come around?
Don′t want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye

In summer, I can taste the salt in the sea
There's a kite blowing out of control on a 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's come around
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 rockstars
When hip-hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
That was the big idea
