Born To Fly

[Verse 1]
I've been tellin' 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?" 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 eye'd boy in my future? Yeah, he says, "Girl, you've got nothin' but time"

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
My daddy, he's 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 that 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 sea
I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams and I will grow up where I'll wander wild and free

[Chorus]
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
Yeah, you were born
You were born to fly?
So how do you wait for heaven? And who has that much time?
How do you keep your feet on the ground when you know that you were born
You were born to fly?
Fly
You were born to fly
You were born to fly
