Ready

Everybody knows where the angel lives
Everybody knows where the angel flies
Everybody sees her face brushing up against their windowpanes
Everybody knows where the angel is

Everybody knows where the ancients sleep
Everybody knows where they rest their heads
Everybody knows where the ancients dream
They just can’t believe that their spirits are not dead

And I’ve been waiting my whole life just to talk to you
I’ve been waiting my whole life just to touch your face
And I know it’s gonna bring me grace
It could happen to me anyplace and I will be ready

Everybody knows how the courageous cope
You can feel it in the birthplace of your hope
Everybody knows inspiration even the wake of devastation
Everybody knows someone courageous

And I’ve been waiting my whole life just to walk with you
I’ve been waiting my whole life just to hear your voice
And I know it’s gonna be my choice
It could happen to me and of course I will be ready
I will be ready

Everybody knows where the angel lives
Everybody knows where the angel flies
Everybody sees her face brushing up against their windowpanes
Everybody knows the angel

And I’ve been waiting my whole life just to talk with you
I’ve been waiting my whole life to hold your hand
And I know it’s gonna understand
It could happen over sea or land
I will be ready…I will be ready…I will be ready
