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 Ah, 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
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 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 to fly fly fly fly
