The little kestrel was flying circles
All over the town
The boy went running down the field
And crying: "Hey come on down
Come on near I pray don't fear please stay
There's more much more to life than flying
Kes kes kes kes free and easy kes kes
Kes kes kes kes free and easy kes kes"

The little kestrel was coming closer
Flew over a fence
The boy kept waving with his hat
And calling: "Hey let's be friends
Thought they say that you're a bird of prey
There's more much more to life than flying
Kes kes kes kes free and easy kes kes
Kes kes kes kes free and easy kes kes"

Just the tiniest speck of color
High too far to call
The boy wiping away his tears
And shouting: "Hey that's not all
There's still love there's home there's sun above
There's more much more to life than flying
Kes kes kes kes free and easy kes kes
Kes kes kes kes free and easy kes kes"

Why don't you come to me
What is it that you see
Why do you want to be
Always so high and free
Kes…

The little kestrel sat on his shoulders
The boy started to smile
Smoothed all of her feathers down
And told her: "Stay for a while
Be so kind then fly but keep in mind
There's more much more to life than flying
Kes kes kes kes free and easy kes kes
Kes kes kes kes free and easy kes kes
Kes kes kes kes free and easy kes kes
Kes kes kes kes free and easy kes kes
Kes kes kes kes free and easy kes kes
Kes kes kes kes free and easy kes kes"
