Kadu Flyer

I want to try, I want to be me I want to get high, I want to see I want to fly, I want to be free I take the trail from Katmandu With a different kind of trip in view Everest is behind the town Mountain High-bound to get higher My glider, I'm the Kadu Flyer Cygnus of the skies, the prize and I will rise to win it Never fly through a cloud if there's a mountain in it My route is by the steep ascent Do battle with the elements Peaks of progress, freezing winds Downdraft dangers want to drag me down My straining ailerons the only sound I'm carried by the keening wind, with the dandelions glide Everest, I'll never rest, I'll see you a mole-hill when I'm high I want to try, I want to be me I want to get high, I want to see I want to fly, I want to be free Crawl the thermal up a mountain Like the pterodactyl’s wings Waves of lift and wing vibrations Help me to invoke the sun True me up in soaring fun Rising like the phoenix In full flight from the fire A dragon wing of string and sticks Gliding higher and higher and higher
