Lyrics
I?ve been waiting so long
And all my life I?ve known
It would come down to this
Now that my strength is gone
But I?m ready
Ready
I?ve been curious to know
The word that shaped me
Yes to know and be known
Of the storm that takes me
And I?m ready
Ready
Bitter leaves are falling
Strange taste on my tongue
Haven?t known such strangeness
Since I was so young
On the night that my father died
He was calm as the night sky above
But I don?t feel like I?m sinking
Into arms that I love
But I?m ready
Ready
