I've been telling my dreams to the scarecrow
'Bout 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 staring down the road
Just looking for my one chance to run

Yeah, 'cause I will soar away like the blackbird
I will blow in the wind like a sea
I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams
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, yeah
You were born to fly, fly, fly, fly?
Hey, uh
