I used to run across the field
Pretending I was flying
A toy plane held tightly in my hand
Flying high above the trees
Powered by my childhood dreams
Just a vapor trail across an empty sky
And when I'd look up at the big blue sky
And saw the clouds as they'd go rolling by
I knew that I would fly away someday
A summer's night in hot July
I hardly could believe my eyes
Apollo was flying into history
And on the flickering TV screen
Footprints on the dusty sea
That glory, standing on tranquility
But when I'd look up at the big blue sky
See the clouds as they'd go rolling by
I knew that I would fly away someday
But life had other plans
And this boy became a man
And that dream seemed to drift away
Like a storm on a summer's day
But now I'm standing on the shore
Listening to the rockets roar
Shining like the star up in the sky
And though my eyes are filled with tears
I can see beyond the years
To a childhood play beneath that big blue sky
And when I look up at the big blue sky
Feel the thunder go rolling by
I know that I will fly away someday
When I look up at the big blue sky
I see the clouds as they go rolling by
I know that I will fly away someday
Someday!
