Ready To Fly

Richard Marx · My Own Best Enemy [2004]

I've been trying to open the door

To the secret of my destiny

And every new road I think is the one

Seems to lead right back to me



I've looked for a way to be wiser

A way to be strong

Now I see the answer was hiding

In me all along



Chorus:

And I'm ready to fly

Over the sun

Like a rocket to heaven

And I'm ready to soar

Right through the sky

Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high

I've always had wings

But I wasn't ready to fly



Restless, hopeless, and misunderstood

Like so many others I know

So busy tryin' to keep holdin' on

When I should've been letting go



I was given the gift to find it

The spirit inside me

But I never really imagined

All I could be



Chorus:

And I'm ready to fly

Over the sun

Like a rocket to heaven

And I'm ready to soar

Right through the sky

Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high

I've always had wings

But I wasn't ready to fly



The answer to all of my wonder

Was right in my hands

Now it's time for me to discover

All that I am



Chorus:

And I'm ready to fly

Over the sun

Like a rocket to heaven

And I'm ready to soar

Right through the sky

Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high

I've always had wings

But I wasn't ready to fly



I've always had wings

Now I'm finally ready to fly
