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?'

Aww, but he just stands there smilin' back at me

So I confess my sins to the preacher

About the love I'd been prayin' to find

Is there a brown-eyed boy in my future, yeah

He says 'girl, you got nothin' but time.'

[Chorus]

(But) (Oh) (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

My daddy he is grounded like the oak tree

My momma she is as 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 want, wild and free

[Chorus]
