Born to Fly

Sarah Evans

G C G

I've been tellin' my dreams to the scarecrow

C F C

About the places that I’d like to see.

D G

I say "Friend, do you think I'll ever get there?"

D G

Oh, but he just stands there smilin' back at me.

C G

So I confessed my sins to the preacher

C F C

About the love I've been prayin' to find.

D G

Is there a brown-eyed girl in my future? Yeah.

D G

And he says "Boy, you've got nothin' but time."

<CHORUS>

D C G

But how do you wait for heaven?

D C G

And who has that much time?

Am C G

And how do you keep your feet on the ground

C D G

When you know that 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 starin' down the road

Just lookin' for my one chance to run.

'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.
