I'm Ready
Tina Turner Lyrics

I was happy with the fear
Although I was scared and uncertain, I was content with the feeling because it was familiar and I was used to it.

Every moon was new
Despite the repetition of the moon phases, each new moon brought something unique and different to her life.

I was searching for myself
She was on a journey of self-discovery to figure out who she truly is.

When I found an angel
She encountered someone who was kind, pure-hearted, and made her feel safe.

There in the clouds, I flew
Metaphorically, she felt so happy that she was on cloud nine and everything else ceased to matter.

Now it seems like forever
Since she has been searching for genuine love without success, it feels like a lifetime has passed.

Since I said that I've never
Prior to this, she had claimed to have never found an honest and true love.

Find a love whose aim was true
She had not yet encountered an honest and genuine partner who truly loved her without deception or ulterior motives.

But I found that love
Finally, she found a love that was sincere and real.

And I found myself in you
She realized that being with this person was the key to understanding and accepting herself.

Now I'm ready to touch somebody
After all the heartbreak and struggles, she is now emotionally prepared to bond and connect with someone in a romantic way.

I'm ready to love someone
For the first time, she is equipped and willing to commit to a genuine love and make it work.

I'm ready to listen to my heart and let you in
She has learned to trust her own feelings and willing to let her guards down to start something meaningful.

Now, I'm ready to touch somebody
She repeats this line to emphasize that she is completely ready to dive in and engage in a loving relationship.

I'm ready to finally feel something real in me
She is ready to experience true and authentic feelings within herself and in her relationship.

I was running off the runway
She was previously heading in the wrong direction, possibly in search of love or happiness.

Too scared to land
She felt too scared and insecure to take that final leap of faith and commit to love.

There was stardust in my eyes
She may have had unrealistic expectations or ideals about romance that blinded her judgment.

When I crashed into something I've never felt before (whoa)
When she finally met this authentic love, it was a shock to her and unlike anything she had experienced before.

I survived the dive
Despite any reservations or fears, she took a risk and survived the uncertainty of it all.

Now I'm finally alive
This love gave her a breath of fresh air, rejuvenated her soul, and gave her a new purpose.

Cause, I'm ready to touch somebody
She repeats this phrasing to renew her confidence and emphasize her eagerness to engage in physical and emotional intimacy.

This was meant to be
She believes their relationship was predestined or meant to happen, possibly due to fate, destiny or divine intervention.

Cause you were sent to me
She may interpret this love as a gift from a higher power or divine source, making their union even more special and significant.

I'm ready to finally feel something real in me
She repeats this line again to conclude the song, emphasizing how this newfound love has given her a sense of peace and happiness she has never felt before.
