born to fly

i've been tellin' my dreams to the scarecrow

'bout the places that i'd like to see

i said

friend do you think i'll ever get there

ah

but he just stands there smilin' back at me

so i confessed my sins to the preacher

about the love i've been prayin' to find

is there a brown eyed boy in my future

yeah

he says. girl you've got nothin' but time

but how do you wait for heaven

and who has that much time

and how do you keep your feet on the ground

when you know

that you were born

you were born to fly

my daddy

he's grounded like the oak tree

my momma

she is steady as the sun

oh you know i love my folks

but i keep starin' down the road

just lookin' for my one chance to run

yeah

cause i will soar away like the blackbird

i will blow in the wind like a seed

i will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams

and i will grow up where i'll wander wild and free

oh

how do you wait for heaven

and who has that much time

and how do you keep your feet on the ground

when you know

that you were born

you were born yeah

you were born to fly

so how do you wait for heaven

and who has that much time

and how do you keep your feet on the ground

when you know that you were born

you were born to fly fly fly fly.
