In the field where the green grass grows
A child with eyes wide, where the wind softly blows
He watches a plane, soaring high and free
Racing through meadows, wishing that he could be
But the plane's too high, and the dreams too wide
Like the love he holds, just out of sight
Chasing planes across the sky
Like chasing love that passes by
Too far to touch, too high to reach
Lessons that only time can teach
With every step, he laughs and he tries
Following shadows that dance with the flies
But as the sun sets, and the plane disappears
His heart feels heavy, reflecting his fears
For thee reflecting his fears
For the things we chase, and can't ever hold
Are like stories of love, untold
Chasing planes across the sky
Like chasing love that passes by
Too far to touch, too high to reach
Lessons that only time can teach
Maybe one day, he'll understand
That some things in life, can't be planned
Like love that flies on wings so wide
Always there, but just outside
Always there, but just outside
Always there, but just outside
Always there, but just outside
Chasing planes across the sky
Like chasing love that passes by
Too far to touch, too high to reach
Lessons that only time can teach
Maybe one day, he'll understand
That some things in life, can't be planned
As the stars come out to shine
He knows in time, love will be mine
For now, he'll dream beneath the moon's beams
Chasing planes, and chasing dreams
