When I was a child,
I thought like a child,
And played like one all the time
The older I got, the more I forgot
And traded my kite for a fight
I said, I traded my kite for a fight
I fought with my brother,
I fought with my mother, who lived in hell all of the time
I wish I could trade, all the misery I've made
I just need some wind for my kite
I said, I just need some wind for my kite
Oh, oh, wind won't you blow
Oh, oh, wind won't you blow
I'm sick of this nonsense, I'm gonna build myself a fence,
And no one will see who I am
Well God forbid, they see what I did
When I fought for old Uncle Sam
I said, I fought for old Uncle Sam
Now, I drug the fight on, for a decade long,
From here to that crazy old war
And I can't believe, the boy that I see
It's sure not the child that I was
I said, it's sure not the child that I was
Oh, oh, wind won't you blow
Oh, oh, wind won't you blow
I hopped on my bike, I'm gonna finish this fight,
Across the country I ride
Well I'm healing my pain, while trying to stay sane
The search for the child inside
I said, the search for the child inside
When I was low, as low as could be,
On the rooftop of an Afghan motel
It was a local guy, who gave me a kite
And showed me the child that I am
I said, showed me the child that I am
Oh, oh, wind won't you blow
Oh, oh, wind won't you blow
Oh, oh, wind won't you blow
Oh, oh, wind won't you blow
