I've been telling my dreams
to the scarecrow
About the places that
I'd like to see
I say, friend do you think
I'll ever get there
Oh, 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
And 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 you were born,
You were born to fly
My daddy he is 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
cause I will soar away
like a blackbird
I will blow in the wind
like a seed
I will plant my heart in the
garden of my dreams
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, you were born to fly
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, When you know
You were born to fly
You were born to fly
You were born to fly
