A Musical Flight of Fancy
Book, Music and Lyrics by Mel Atkey


I Can Fly My Kite to the Moon

All the people I know
Don't talk to me, don't look at me
All the stones they can throw
Break down my door, don't scare me for
I can be somewhere far away
in a game only I know how to play
and the truth of it all is
Who's laughing now?
Wiser people than me
know everything, love everyone
What I'm going to be
Reach for the sky, learning to fly!
Then I will cast my spell on you
and the world will turn into something new
And the best of it all is
Who's laughing now?
I can fly my kite to the moon
I can go where no one can
I can catch a train to the sky
and to those who care
It's all part of my secret plan
There are people like me
All camouflage, all underground
There are those you can't see
Earth warriors, star voyagers
We keep the heavens safe for you
With a captain and most courageous crew
And you have to admit it,
Who's smiling now?
I can fly my kite to the moon
I can see the end of time
I can make the clouds go away
And to those who care
It's all part of the perfect crime
As I fly without wings through the air
And I look at the children down there
I'd be sure to astound
the people still on the ground
And I wonder if they're even aware
It's amazing I know
Tell anyone, show anything
Their progression is slow
Whole galaxies light years away
I've found I can defy the curse
When I try to explore the universe
And the truth of it all is
Who's out there now?
I can fly my kite to the moon
I can go where no one can...
