Ready To Fly

Lyrics

Mamma called this morning, said  
'Son won't you come back home?  
I've been feelin' good but  
I know it won't be long.'  
Don't keep me waiting  
I wanna touch your face again.  
Oh, what a good life it's been  
  
Now I'm ready to fly  
I wanna see your daddy again.  
I'm ready to fly  
All my family and friends.  
I know they're out there waiting  
In a place beyond the sky.  
Oh, I'm ready to fly.  
  
Hard times it was '69  
The war was raging on.  
That's the reason my daddy left  
And never made it back home  
It was tough for all of us  
But mamma smiled everyday  
Oh, it's so hard to hear her say.  
  
Now I'm ready to fly  
I wanna see your daddy again.  
I'm ready to fly  
All my family and friends.  
I know they're out there waiting  
In a place beyond the sky.  
Oh, I'm ready to fly.  
  
She made sure that we would never see her cry  
But those tears on the pillow she couldn't hide  
  
Now I'm ready to fly  
I wanna see your daddy again.  
I'm ready to fly  
All my family and friends.  
I know they're out there waiting  
In a place beyond the sky  
  
So now I'm ready to fly  
I wanna see your daddy again.  
I'm ready to fly fly fly  
All my family and friends.  
I know they're out there waiting  
In a place beyond the sky.  
I'm ready to fly.
