I've been telling my dreams to the scarecrow
 About the places that I'd like to see
 I'll say friend do you think I'll ever get there
 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?
 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 mamma 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
 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 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 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 you were born, you were born to fly
 Yeah
 You were born to fly, fly, fly ,fly
 Hey
 Ooh ooh
