I've been telling my dreams to the scarecrow
'bout the places that I'd like to see
I say friend do you think I'll ever get there, aw
But he just stands there smiling back at me
So I confessed my sins to the preacher
'bout the love I've been praying to find
Is there a brown eyed boy in my future? Ya
And he says girl you've got nothing 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 you were born, you were born to fly
My daddy he is grounded like the oak-tree
My mamma she is steady as the sun
Oh, you know I love my folks
But I keep staring down the road, just looking for my one chanceto run
Hey, 'cause I will soar away like the blackbird
I will blow in the wind like a seed
and I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams
And I will grow up where I wander wild and free, ya.
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 you were born
You were born yeah 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 you were born, you were born to fly
Yeah
You were born to fly, fly, fly, fly
yaaa
