Maxton Santos - Paper Kites and Toy Soldiers Lyrics

Read a good book before you fall asleep
Catch up on news before breakfast each week
Skull in the sand, but mind on the moon
His calloused hands scaling the dunes

He's riding eastward, mounted upon a stallion
All of his companions tatterdemalion
All his love for the life he would live one time
He's shooting marbles at plastic and flies his colors through skies

Give mom a hug, and give dad one, too
They love you so much; they're both starting new
Drawings of cats and notes in his ears
He can't relax throughout his tears

He's traveling southbound with his ticket to ride
All of his companions, they fled, or hid, or died
All his hate to end up in a land of grey
He's smoking steady through night time and hardly working each day
He's shooting marbles at plastic and flies his colors through skies
Heal his love for the live he would live one time
