A boy playing in the country lanes
With a handmade wooden plane
Built in war torn terrain
A gift from my brother
Last time he came home
He said how much I'd grown
He's been away for far too long
Now he don't belong
Running through poppy fields
I slip and I fall head over heels
Lying on my back, I watch the skies
As clouds float by, Spitfires fly high
With all the grace of a dragonfly
A wondrous sight, gleaming in sunlight
As I watch the dogfights
Watching through the eyes of a child
The sheer excitement I felt inside
So innocent from the hillside
I now know the cost couldn't be more great
Aces playing for high stakes
And bearing witness to so many young men
Going to meet their fate
Flying over poppy fields
With fighters upon their heels
Lying on my back, I watch the skies
As clouds float by, Spitfires fly high
With all the grace of a dragonfly
A wondrous sight, gleaming in sunlight
As I watch the dogfights
From the skies, they're falling
The danger they faced
Under fire or giving chase
We owe so much to so few (so much I hope they knew)
Flying over poppy fields
With fighters upon their heels
Lying on my back, I watch the skies
As clouds float by, Spitfires fly high
With all the grace of a dragonfly
A wondrous sight, gleaming in sunlight
As I watch the dogfights
As clouds float by, Spitfires fly high
With all the grace of a dragonfly
A wondrous sight, gleaming in sunlight
As I watch the dogfights
Such a thankless plight
With all the grace of a dragonfly
Freedom for all will prevail
