Hard times in sixty nine, the war was “ragged” on
That's the reason my dad left and never made him back home
It was a suffer for all of us, but mamma smilled every day
oooh 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 that i do waitting in a place beyond the sky so i'm ready to fly
She make sure she never let see her crying
But those tears on the pilow, she couldn't hide
i'm ready to fly, i wanna see your daddy again
I'm ready to fly, all my family and friends
i know that i do waitting in a place beyond the sky
sooooo, yeah i'm ready to fly
i wanna see your daddy again
I'm ready to fly, all my family and friends
i know that i do waitting in a place beyond the sky
i'm ready to fly yeah, i'm ready to fly
