Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woo-hoo, yeah
Woo-hoo, yeah
Woo-hoo, yeah
[Verse 2]
Are you ready?
Ooh, are you ready for the day?
He's gonna come back down to Earth
I hope you're gonna pray
That you're with us
Mmm, as we beam Him right up
He's got a little place for me in His loving cup
[Verse 3]
Are you ready? Ooh, ready to see?
I'm out here in Babylon, come out here with me
[Verse 4]
Are you ready?
Ah, are you ready?
Ah, are you ready?
Are you ready? Are you ready?
[Verse 5]
Are you ready?
Ah, are you ready?
Ah, are you ready?
Are you ready? Are you ready?
[Verse 6]
Please, I'm ready, 'cause I've lived a life of sin
And I heard that us sinners have got a chance with Him
Suicidal, ooh, yeah, deep inside my soul
I've been prayin' there's somewhere else for me to go
Come on, people, ooh, did you hear my pain?
I'm out here in Babylon, waitin' for the day
[Verse 7]
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready?
[Verse 8]
Either Muslim, ooh, Sikh, Buddhist too
I feel so damn free, I don't need a word with you
I ain't a Christian, oh, I ain't gay or straight
I am just livin' life in my own peculiar way
Come on, people, ooh, fight around the world
Tryna force things on me, you know I'm different, girl
[Verse 9]
'Cause I'm ready
Ah, I'm ready
Ah, I'm ready, yes, I'm ready, yes, I'm ready
Ah, I'm ready
Ooh, yes, I'm ready
Ooh, I'm ready, yes, I'm ready, yes, I'm ready
Ooh, I'm ready
Ooh, I'm ready
Yeah, I'm ready, yes, I'm ready, yes, I'm ready
[Verse 10]
Yes, I'm ready
Oh, I'll paint the town with blood
I've been losin' so damn much since I'm feelin 'love
With people
Oh, yeah, the whole damn human race
I wanna put you in my arms and give you a love embrace
[Verse 11]
I'm ready
Oh, I ain't no freedom train
'Cause where they are, we are headin', yeah
There is no thing as pain
Yes, I'm ready
Ooh, I've had a season in Hell
And I'm gettin' pretty tired down here
Oh, please break the spell
[Verse 12]
Oh, Jesus, sweet Jesus, can't you hear?
Please don't leave us on our own, livin' here with fear
[Verse 13]
I'm ready
Yes, I'm ready
I'm ready, yes, I'm ready, yes, I'm ready
I'm ready
Yes, I'm ready
I'm ready, yes, I'm ready, yes, I'm ready
[Verse 14]
Yes, I'm ready, yes, I'm ready
Yes, I'm ready, yes, I'm ready, yes, I'm ready
[Verse 15]
Woo-hoo, yeah
Woo-hoo, yeah
Woo-hoo, yeah
[Verse 16]
Woo-hoo, yeah
Woo-hoo, yeah
Woo-hoo, yeah
