Born To Fly Lyrics - American Idol

I've been tellin' 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 smilin' back at me 

So I confess my sins to the preacher 

About the love I'd been prayin' to find 

Is there a brown-eyed boy in my future? 

And 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 is grounded like the oak tree 

My momma, she is as 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 

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 want, 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
