Cover art for Small Planes lyrics by Innocence Mission, The

She feels small and unimportant, lost...as if nothing she says or does will make a difference. She wants things she feels helpless to achieve. She's looking to the future and wondering when she'll finally get out, where she'll end up, and who she'll meet along the way.

Restlessness, longing, introspection... one of my favorites. I like the image I get of toy airplanes hanging from the ceiling. They're made to look like they're flying, going somewhere fantastic, but in reality they're stuck in the same place forever.
