The song "Born To Fly" by Sara Evans is about the desire to chase one's dreams and live a life of freedom and adventure. The lyrics tell the story of a person who shares their dreams with a scarecrow, expressing their longing to see new places and achieve their goals. Despite the scarecrow's silent response, the person continues to hold onto their dreams. They also confess their desire to find love to a preacher, wondering if they will find a specific person in their future. The preacher reassures them that they have plenty of time to find love. The narrator compares themselves to their grounded father and steady mother, expressing their love for them but also their restlessness. They yearn to break away from their current life and run towards their dreams, comparing themselves to a blackbird and a seed blown in the wind. They want to plant their heart in the garden of their dreams and live a life of exploration and freedom. The chorus repeatedly asks how one waits for heaven and maintains their stability when they know they were meant for something greater. It reflects on the struggle between the desire to chase dreams and the need to stay grounded in reality. Overall, "Born To Fly" is an anthem for those who have big dreams and a longing for adventure. It encourages listeners to embrace their inherent nature of seeking something greater and to live their lives to the fullest, even when faced with the challenges and uncertainties of the journey.
