Back when I was young,
Couldnt wait to grow up,
get away and get out on my own,
looking back now aint it funny how
Ive been trying to get back home (yeah)
When my low self esteem
needs a man loving me
and i find me a perfect catch
then i see my friends having wild weekends
and i dont wanna get quite so attached
Just as soon as I get what I want
I get unsatisfied,
Good is good but could be better
I keep looking, I keep looking for,
I keep looking for something more
I always wondered what's on the other side
of the number two door
I keep looking, looking for something more.
Well the straight haired girls they all want curls
and the brunettes wanna be blonde
its your typical thing
you got yin you want yang
It just goes on and on
They say hey its only human to never be satisfied
well i guess im as human as the next one
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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
