Title:
“Riding the Wind”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[Am] Underneath the [G] crimson sky,
[F] Where kites and [C] dreams love to fly,
[Am] We weave our [G] tales in the [F] air,
[C] Catching whispers of [Em] despair.

(Verse 2)
[Am] Amidst the [G] laughter and the cries,
[F] In the silence of the [C] night,
[Am] We sing our [G] songs so [F] clear,
[C] Hoping someone might [Em] hear.

(Chorus)
[Dm] Riding the wind, [Em] chasing the sun,
[F] With paper wings, our journey’s [C] just begun,
[Dm] With every breeze, [Em] and every bend,
[F] We’re the Whole Kite, [G] until the end.

(Verse 3)
[Am] We paint our stories [G] on the sky,
[F] Beneath the moon, we learn to [C] fly,
[Am] With chords and words as [G] our guide,
[F] We’re the Whole Kite, [G] taking flight.

(Chorus)
[Dm] Riding the wind, [Em] chasing the sun,
[F] With paper wings, the battle is [C] won,
[Dm] With every breeze, [Em] and every bend,
[F] We’re the Whole Kite, [G] until the end.
