Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am ready for love
Why are you hiding from me?
I'd quickly give my freedom
To be held in your captivity
[Verse 2]
I am ready for love
All of the joy and the pain
And all the time that it takes
Just to stay in your good grace
[Verse 3]
Lately I've been thinkin' maybe you're not ready for me
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for 'cause you might receive
But if you ask me tomorrow, I'll say the same thing
[Verse 4]
I am ready for love
Would you please lend me your ear?
I promise I won't complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here
[Verse 5]
If you give me half a chance, I'll prove this to you
I will be patient, kind, faithful, and true
To a man who loves music, a man who loves art
Respects the spirit world and thinks with his heart
I am
[Verse 6]
I am ready for love
If you'll take me in your hands
I will learn what you teach
And do the best that I can
[Verse 7]
I am ready for love
Here with an offering of
My voice, my eyes, my soul, my mind
Tell me what is enough to prove I am ready for love
[Verse 8]
I am ready
