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
I love this man's voice. "I'll be right here waiting for you" is one of my favorite songs, I don't even know the proper title but can sing it word or word. Thank you for this message and for all your music.
Richard Marx's Ready to fly's lyrics:
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 looked for a way to be wiser, a way to be strong
Now I see the answer was hiding in me all along
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 that lift me so high
I've always had wings
But I wasn't ready to fly
Restless, hopeless, and misunderstood
There's so many others i know
Some days I'm trying to keep holding on when I should have been letting go
I was given a chance to find it, the spirit inside me
But I never really imagined all I could be
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 that lift me so high
I've always had wings
But I wasn't ready to fly
The answer to all my wonder is right in my hands
Now it's time for me to discover all that I am
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 will 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
I can't understand how this masterpiece wasn't ever a hit
I'm happy to have heard it though. Now one of my all time faves. Beautiful. Powerful. Relatable. Uplifting. Empowering. Heart-warming.
I love this. So many of us go through life without living the potential within us.
I've always had wings, I'm finally ready to fly
I love this song, I can listen to it over and over again without ever getting sick of it, a lot like most of his music that I adore. Its timeless like Marilyn Monroe and full of infinite spirit.
I have in my "bucket list" to see you in concert before the big man calls me home. I'm the same age as you...so, hopefully I will that chance! Would be a dream come true!! Actually, it's the only thing on my list!! Lol...oh well.
i'm a huge Richard marx fan.....have been for years.....i remember going to his concert as part of the Repeat offender tour and he sanged aint no sunshine by bill withers.....he sanged it so beautifully.......there is not end to this man's talent
Richard Marx is so underrated! I love everything he does, and this song is no exception! What a voice... What a man!
To JKNEVER69... Oh Yes Richard is still making music, and some GREAT MUSIC :))) You should check out his website for more info :)))
Whatever that few dislikes means...all i can say is that I love all of Richard's Marx song. Every song has its own deep meaning and interpretation, it's like when you hear his song, everything from the past flashes back. Make you feel like you're young again.
