Born to fly
I've been telling my dreams to the scarecrow
About 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
Smiling back at me.
So I can confess my sins to the preacher
About the love I've been praying to find
Is there a brown-eyed boy in my future, yeah
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 that you were born
You were born to fly
My daddy, he is grounded like the oak tree
And my mom, 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 chance to run
Yeah, cause I will soar away like the blackbird
I will blow in the wind like a sea
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 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
You were born to fly, fly, fly
