I've been telling my dreams to the scarecrow

About the places that I'd like to see

I'll say friend do you think I'll ever get there

But he just stands there smiling back at me



So I confessed my sins to the preacher

About the love I've been praying to find

Is there a brown eyed boy in my future?

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 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



Hey, '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 wander wild and free



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

Hey

Ooh ooh
