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?" Aw, but he just stands there smiling back at me So I confess 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 that you were born, you were born to fly
My daddy is grounded like the oak tree My momma 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 Yeah, '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'll 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 that you were born You were born, yeah, you were born to fly
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
