Kadu Flyer

I want to try, I want to be me

I want to get high, I want you to see

I want to fly, I want to be free

I hit the trail from Kathmandu

With a different kind of trip in view

Everest is behind the town

Mountain High-bound to get higher

My glider high, 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 angels want to drag me down

And straining ailerons the only sound

And ere we fly the keening wind in the dandelions die

Everest, I'll never rest

I'll see you a mogul when I'm high

I want to try, I want to be me

I want to get high, I want you to see

I want to fly, I want to be free

Crawl the thermal up a mountain

Like the Pteradacyl's wings

Waves of lift and hidden 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
