Lyrics

I had a life in a different time
It doesn’t seem to have ever been mine
Life was almost perfect to me
I was standing where I wanted to be
But in a flash I lost my wings
I lost everything I knew
I didn’t know what I was going to do

But I was ready
Ready to fly
I needed to reach and touch a new sky
I was ready
Ready to fly
I was taking my wings
And nothing was going to stop me now
I was ready
Ready to fly

As you look back on your past
Do you realize that nothing was built to last?
Maybe it hasn’t been so bad
To leave your old life you knew behind you
Cause life is much more fun anyway
When you crave something new
Maybe it’s time to for you to say

I’m ready
Ready to fly
I want to reach and touch a new sky
I’m ready
Ready to fly
I’m taking my new wings
And nothing was going to stop me now
I was ready
Ready to fly

There’s no other way to live
Than to seize the day
There’s no other way to love
Thank to take that leap of faith
Even if it scared the hell out of you

I was ready, ready to fly
I was taking my new wings
And nothing was going to stop me now
I was ready, ready to fly
I needed to reach out and touch a new sky

There’s no other way to live
Than to seize the day
There’s no other way to love
Thank to take that leap of faith
Even if it scared the hell out of you
I was ready, what about you?
Are you ready, ready to fly
Are you ready, ready to fly
Ready to fly
