Like a Secret

Did you ever wish you could be king?
and hoping it will all come true.
Holding heaven in your hands
Turn the world on its ear make it ring.
Rub sticks in dirt and dust
and let the bright come burning through.
Let me fly this kite without a string.
Don't talk me down from here.
Goes much higher than these buildings.
It is faster than your tv.
Necklaces of perfect words to hang around your perfect neck.
Larger than your life, like silver.
Talk lines unbroken by old fears.
Locomotion frees the soul.
Turn a diamond to a lump of coal.
Making fires amd melting ice.
Don't talk me down from here.
It is faster than your tv.
Goes much higher than these buildings.
Larger than your life, like silver.
It is better than a switchblade.
Let me fly this kite without a string.
Colder than deep water.
See the would-be king on a would-be throne.
Hides mountains in its shadow like a secret.
I make my bed alone.
I'm all I know now.
Better get started.
It's a long walk home.
