lyrics

Are you ready for it?
‘Cause I’m taking off
Are you ready for it?
Ready to be rid of all I’ve lost
And I have never seen a place of such peace
And I will never let America domesticate me
Ooh… Ahh...

Are you ready for it?
Well you better fasten your seatbelt
There will be turbulence
‘Cause the old days are gone
And I have never been so happy to be so far away
‘Cause I’ve got a new home
I got a new home
I’ve got a brand new home

(Chorus)
And here I sing with the birds
And here I don’t get lost in your words
And here I thrive, and here I ride
And here I find myself again, oh
Here I thrive, and here I ride
And here I find myself again
Mmm…

I don’t think you’re ready for it
To sit back and watch me prosper
You weren’t ready for it
For all I had to offer
And now I’m taking off
I’m taking off without you
You can just sit back darling,
And watch me rise even more above you
Ooh…Ahh...

I’m ready for it
A taste of independence
Oh I’m ready for this
To explore all my senses
And I have felt displaced before
So I guess that evens out our scores
But now I’m taking off
I’m taking off
And I’m ready
