Born to fly

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
