this is a story about a boy

he's nine years old his name is tom

when he dreams he drifts away

he dreams about the seven seas

pirates and the big brown ships

when he wakes up from that dream



he knows it's ok

he knows it's alright

just to go away 

and fly away far away



when he wakes up from that dream

he's always sad 'cause he wants to go back

back to the world where he belongs

flying high above the world

chasing stars take a break on mars

just watching the world go by
