Kites Against The Wind
© 2006 Lyrics by Bobbie Gallup ASCAP
Courtroom filled to overflowing
Val knew they’d disagree
But she had to stop them kids
From being killed in Tennessee
Many folks came just to complain
No more taxes, not one dime
To help the victims of abuse
She put that from her mind
BUILD:
Can’t let opposition scare me
I’m made of stronger stuff
And when it comes to accepting what is wrong
I’ve just plain had enough
CHORUS:
When the world seems out to get you
And courage is running thin
Just remember that a kite only rises
When it flies against the wind
Billy saw the bullies on the corner
They were dissin little Joe
He wanted to run away
But his instincts wouldn’t let it go
He ran right over to them
Helped Joe back on his feet
Though any minute he expected
They would knock him right down to the street
BUILD: Repeat
CHORUS: Repeat
BRIDGE:
With love…
We can rise above
What seems to stand in our way
It may be what gets us going
Gets our backbone showing
CHORUS: Repeat
