Lyrics

[Chorus]
Are you ready to see
A world where we could all be free?
As branches of an endless tree
May we seek and find it
Although we may not all agree
Still live together peacefully
[Verse 1]
Watching the news almost every night
Telling the stories of all that ain't right
But what could be done from a house and a home?
Sink in the sofa and feel so alone
Getting the courage to do something small
Lifting the spirits of all that you saw
Feeling the tiniest spark in your heart
'Cause only an ember can light up the dark
[Chorus]
Are you ready to see
A world where we could all be free?
As branches of an endless tree, mm
May we seek and find it
Although we may not all agree
Still live together peacefully
[PostChorus]
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
People get, people get, people get
Ready, yeah
Ready, yeah
Ready, yeah
[Verse 2]
Tell me, my brother, how love goes around
Neighbor to neighbor, we create a town
City to country, a nation is formed
Person to person, a kindness is born
There is a beauty in the number one
Just like the moon and just like the sun
So if you're on the couch and you're feeling alone
May you feel moved after hearing this song
[Chorus]
Are you ready to see
A world where we could all be free?
As branches of an endless tree, mm
May we seek and find it
Although we may not all agree
Still live together peacefully
[PostChorus]
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
People get, people get, people get
Ready, yeah
[Bridge]
Wanna be ready, yeah
I want to be ready, yeah
I wanna be ready, ready, mm
[Instrumental]
I wanna be ready
Ready to see
A world where we could all be free
As branches of an endless tree
And may we seek and find it
Although we may not all agree
Still live together peacefully
