Kite Lyrics - U2
Review The Song (16)
Something is about to give
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it is
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
Cause 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, 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 wanna 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 has come around
I don't wanna 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
Roof top 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
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it is
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
Cause 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, 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 wanna 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 has come around
I don't wanna 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
Roof top 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

Sometimes we don't realize what are parents for us. Every religion teaches us to respect them without any doubt. We mustn't even raise our voices talking to them. How bitter when they're gone and we can't make conservations with each other anymore. Fathers sometimes treat us harsh but we grow up and then become fathers. So, we understand that life is not a joke. Bringing up a child requires a daily hard work. Now we start realizing everything...
Kite | Reviewer: Mozart | 7/11/11
It's a song full of meaning and it means something different to every person. For me, I was going through a divorce and this song talks about how sometimes in a certain moment of our lives i becomes like a kite- how it aimlessly blows in the wind no sign of control. And the lesson I find in this song is to not lose focus of where you are but believe who you are the the purpose for why you were born.
May God help us to find peace within.
thank you | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/29/11
Thank you Bono, Edge, and the other members of U2. Thanks for sharing this music with us, especially in this generation where pop stars steal the stage and darken the face of modern music. Thanks for the brilliance, beauty, meaning, and talent behind every song and performance. And thanks to the unnamed friend who led me to the song "Beautiful Day"...
Kite Review | Reviewer: Katherine Reyna | 5/4/11
I knew right away this was the song I needed to listen to since and sing out loud to myself and everything. I begin to go through a list of people I need to let go and the one person I may need to let go of is me. All the self...to let goooooooo.
U2 = SATISFACTION | Reviewer: Felitsa | 12/7/10
U2 are not just a band they're the MUSIC itself, With or without you, no line is the horizon, moment of surrender, where the streets have no name.. they don't sing any song or play any music.. they give me psychological satisfaction.
Kite | Reviewer: Nolan | 9/8/10
To me "Kite" says, whatever you do, say or how you act, people that really love you will never say Goodbye. I have few friends, but I know, if I need them they will be there for me & me likewise for them. And "Kite" reminds me of this everytime I listen to it. Like Bono says "I don't know which way the wind will blow......I know that this is not goodbye".
amazing | Reviewer: heather | 9/4/10
Bono and U2 are incredible. Song epitomizes my old man... have no idea how Bono does it... but it is absolutely perfect in every way. Even the ending ties things together perfectly... walk on... nuff said.

:) | Reviewer: hannah | 5/13/09
This song is amazing in so many ways. The lyrics make it come alive. Their so true, & so emotional. This song makes me cry alot because of everything i've been through. Im happy that U2 can make great music like this song. I'm thinking about wanting to play this at my funeral, just because it packs great emotion & makes you think.
I am speechless | Reviewer: michelle | 4/23/09
This song sends shivers up my spine, it´s so beautiful that no words can explain.
I heard it for the first time yesterday,(yeah, I know) so this day in schoool, I couldnt sing it and I yearned to come home and listen to it again!
Now I have listened to it like four times in a row.
I <3 U2 | Reviewer: Brown-Eyed Girl | 2/18/09
It's not just this song; it's the band. U2 has such amazing capacity for creating and expressing emotion! Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, The Fly, With or Without You, Where the Streets Have No Name, Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own....does the list of amazing songs ever stop?
How the heck does Bono DO it????
(I'm a 13-year-old, just fyi.)
Great Song | Reviewer: Gary | 2/9/09
I was looking through iTunes on celebrity recommended songs. This Song was recommended by Joe Perry, guitarist for Aerosmith. It is one of his favorite songs. Now I see why. Thanks Joe! Thanks U2! Awesome song, came at a perfect time in my life.
the soul speaking! | Reviewer: vicky | 12/14/08
kite for me is a way to prolong life after anything. It is to say "I trust" "I believe" anything that has to happen..it will, sooner or later. We just need to close our eyes and listen to this song..
this is an incredible song <3 | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/1/08
I am 14 years old, and my best friend is being institutionalized in another state. The lyrics of this song have helped me through too many nights to count. Bono is the greatest poet since shakespeare. <3 and the Edge is a genious. Thank you U2
Oh so good | Reviewer: White Rabbit | 3/23/08
This song is so poignant and so beautiful, it's too much for words. And speaking of the words, the lyrics are just perfect. They pack a huge emotional wallop. Bono sings with conviction, power, and sweetness. This is truly one of their best songs.
