One day I'll make my great big kite
One side red and one side white
One day I'll make my great big kite
One side red and one side white
A tender side
One day I'll make my great big kite
Children of the world on its back will climb
And they will hear me
I can see them rise in the morning light
Horses of the wind will pull my kite
Horses red and horses white
Horses of the wind will pull my kite
Horses red and horses white
And piebald horses
Horses of the wind will pull my kite
We will see the oceans as they fight
For their survival
Swelling up a storm in the moonless night
High above the trees and fields so bright
Birds of red and birds of white
High above the trees, and fields so bright
Birds of red and birds of white
A lyrebird
High above the trees and fields so bright
Looking for the angry Evil Knight
We will destroy him
With a silent bomb and a silver knife
Fight with fire, blood and spite
Sun so red and sun so white
Fight with fire, blood and spite
Sun so red and sun so white
A sombre sun
Fight with fire, blood and spite
Clouds are rising up in the falling night
And we'll fly higher
Higher than the heights of the city sights
When we return with hearts of light
One side red and one side white
When we return with hearts of light
One side red and one side white
A human side
When we return with hearts of light
Then you will say that I had no right
To take your children
On such a dark and dangerous flight
I'll climb back on my great big kite
One red morning, one white night
I'll climb back on my great big kite
One red morning, one white night
A paling sunrise
I'll climb back on my great big kite
Leaving all your children to lead the fight
For truth and freedom
Tossing up the dice in the hands of time
In the hands of time
On my great big kite
