Kadu Flyer

I want to try, I want to be me

I want to get high, I want to see

I want to fly, I want to be free

I take 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, I'm 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

[Unverified] peril [unverified] freezing winds

Downdraft dangers want to drag me down



My straining ailerons the only sound

I'm carried by the keening wind

With the dandelions glide, Everest, I'll never rest

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



Crawl the thermal up a mountain

Like the Pterodactyl's wings

Waves of lift and wing 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
