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...

Hey...

Ooooh, ooooh...
