Intro: GVerse:
GCGC
I've been telling my dreams to the scarecrow
FA#FA#
About the places that I'd like to see
CDEm
I say "friend do you think I'll ever get there?"
GDG
Oh but he just stands there smilin' back at me
GCGC
So I confessed my sins to the preacher
FA#FA#
About the love I've been prayin' to find
CDEm
Is there a brown-eyed boy in my future, yeah
GDG
And he says "girl you've got nothin' but time"
Chorus:
DCG
But how do you wait for heaven?
DCG
And who has that much time?
BmCG
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
CD
When you know that you were born
GFA#FA#
You were born to fly
Verse:
GCGC
My daddy he is grounded like the oak tree
FA#FA#
My momma she is steady as the sun
CD
Oh you know I love my folks
Em
But I keep starin' down the road
GDG
Just lookin' for my one chance to run
GCGC
Hey cause I will soar away like a blackbird
FA#FA#
I will blow in the wind like a seed
CDEm
I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams
GDG
And I will grow up where I wander wild and free
