Born to Fly

I've been telling my dreams to the scarecrow

But 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 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 eye'd boy in my future' yeah

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' 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 sea

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 yeah

You were born to fly fly fly fly

Hey

Ooooh' ooooh
