Lyrics:

I've been telling 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
Oh, 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, yeah
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 that were you were born
You were born to fly

My daddy, he is grounded like the oak tree
My mama, she 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

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

Yeah
You were born to fly, fly, fly, fly
Hey
Ooh
