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 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 that you were born You were born to fly My daddy, he is grounded like the oak tree My mama, 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 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 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 Yeah You were born to fly, fly, fly, fly Hey Whoo oou
