Born to Fly

I've been tellin' 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?"
 Aww, but he just stands there smilin' back at me
 So I confess my sins to the preacher
 About the love I'd been prayin' to find
 Is there a brown-eyed boy in my future, yeah
 And he says, "Girl, you got nothin' but time"
 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 mama, she is as 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
 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 want, 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
 You were born
 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
 You were born
 You were born
 Yeah
 You were born to fly
