Born To Fly Lyrics
I've been tellin' my dreams to the scarecrow
About the places that I'd like to see
I said, "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've been prayin' to find
Is there a brown-eyed boy in my future?
And he says, "Girl, you've got nothin' but time"
<i>Chorus</i>:
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 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 plan my part in the garden of my dreams
And I will grow up where I'll wander wild and free
(<i>Chorus</i>X2)

My 2nd favorite country song of all time. I always hated adults telling me I had nothing but time when I was younger. Homogenous adult response to the anxious juvenile interrogative.
this is why I admire country songs..i relate to the singer in the song, its like she wants more out of life than what people around her give to her or in the way they try to think better for her in that she can't get much out of life til the future, but anybody knows time flies and the future is really now! ya know what i mean? So I say life is too short so fuck anybody who ever tells you that you can't live your dream, their just too close for comfort and if your heart is in it, you can do anything!
This is one of the first songs I could really relate to. I've always been ready to leave home, but it seems that people always told me 'you'll have time for that later' when it was what I wanted at that particular time. And, basically all that she says here is true of me. I love my parents to death, but I just absolutely can't wait until I'm out on my own.
i think this song is aboout a woman who is special and wants to leave her small town and move on to bigger places.
