I remember hearing this song for the first time my senior year of high school. I was on a church trip to chicago with my senior class and i immediately connected with the song. I literally played it over and over for the next year or so until it became a song i knew by heart. I've lost touch with the song for quite a few years now, but tonight, while i was in the shower, it came on the radio. And my heart started to beat faster, the tune started humming in my throat and soon i was belting every single word like i was back in high school. It was freeing, it was fun, it was being 17 again. This truly is my song. I know that i was always 'born to fly.' I've never been able to sit still for very long. I don't like to be patient and wait things out. I like action. I like adventure.
I spread my wings a few short months ago and they took me to Colorado. Where will my wings take me next? Who knows, but i'm ready to fly :) Really though, how do you keep you feet on the ground, when you were born to fly???
Born to Fly Sara Evans
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?'
Oh, but he just stands there smilin' back at me
So I confessed my sins to the preacher
About the love I've been prayin' to find
Is there a brown-eyed boy in my future, yeah
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 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 a 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
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
Here's to soaring :)
always,
amanda
