Lyrics:
I’ve been here grounded far too long
I’m ready to see the open wide
Ready to sing a different song
I’ve seen my troubles ‘long the way
I want to sail towards the sun
I want to turn another page
I’m on my way
I’m ready to fly
I’m ready to soar
I’m ready to leave this world behind
I’m ready to open up the door
I’m ready to fly
I’m ready to spread my wings across the sky
I think it’s time
I’m ready to go
I’m ready to fly
You’ve told me I could rise above
Like an eagle on the wind
I can glide upon Your love
But I feel the pull of gravity
And it’s a weight upon my shoulders
I can’t stay here any longer
I’ve gotta be free
And it’s been so long
Since I’ve seen the bright morning sun
Through the early morning horizon
And it’s been so long
Since I’ve felt the air under my wings
And seen all of these things
From above

Behind the Song:
"“Ready to Fly” is about change--a change to freedom. It is about going from fear to trust, from anxiety to relief, from life to death. The Lord told us that we could soar with Him on wings like the eagles over everything that ties us down. “Ready to Fly” is a statement of anticipation, a willingness and longing to be caught up with God in what He is doing, forgetting what we might leave behind." - Jeromy Deibler (FFH)
