Born to Fly is the third studio album by Sara Evans, released in October 2000. It is her highest-selling album to date, having earned 2× Platinum certification by the RIAA for U.S. sales of two million copies. The lead single, "Born to Fly," reached number one on January 19, 2001. The album was one of the most successful of the year. Evans was nominated for five CMA Awards: Album of the Year; song, single, and music video (for the title-track), and Female Vocalist of the Year. She won her first CMA award for music video of the year, "Born to Fly." The international version of the album includes a bonus track, "You", which was later released in North America as a bonus track on her 2005 album, Real Fine Place. "Born to Fly" was a defining album for Sara. Her earlier albums had a more traditional country sound, while all of her later albums had a more pop-friendly crossover sound, similar to Shania Twain, Faith Hill, and LeAnn Rimes, and later Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, and Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum.
"Born to Fly" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist, Sara Evans. It was released in June 2000 as the lead-off single and title track from her album Born to Fly. It became Evans' second Number One hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in January 2001. Evans wrote this song with Marcus Hummon and Darrell Scott.
Content
"Born to Fly" is an up tempo country song, co-written by Sara Evans with Marcus Hummon and Darrell Scott, that is backed primarily with fiddles. The song's narrator is portrayed as a person wanting to expand their horizons and dreams of being somebody, who is tired of being stuck in the same place, and wants to get out. The song makes analogies to a bird spreading its wings and flying to its new destination.
The album version features a long instrumental outro for the song.
Music video
The music video shows Evans portraying Dorothy, the main character from The Wizard of Oz motion picture. The video features many of the same story elements as the movie, such as a tornado, a wicked witch, and a little black dog. The video earned the Country Music Association Video of the Year award in 2001, Evans' first (and only as of 2011).
I've been tellin' 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? 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' at the home 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 So, 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
