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 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, yeah
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 momma she 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

'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
