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


Hey
Ooooh, ooooh
