I'm preparing to fly
Under my own steam
I'm preparing to fly
Into a dream
I'm in love all over again
I'm head over heels
I can't even begin
To tell you how it feels
She lives on a rock
Surrounded by light
She's young and she's wild
And she's treating me right
I'm preparing to fly
Under my own steam
I'm preparing to fly
Into a dream
I shed some light
I change my address
I haven't felt so great
Since I first went west
I've got brilliant intentions
Unthinkable plans
I've got sparks and electric shocks
Just exploding from my hands
I'm preparing to fly
Under my own steam
I'm preparing to fly
Into a dream
I'm back in the saddle
I'm out in the clear
I got no regrets
I've got nothing to fear
I've battled my demons
Come out on top
I'm gonna love you as hard as I can
Never gonna stop
I'm preparing to fly
Under my own steam
I'm preparing to fly
Into a dream
