Lyrics

I want to wake up and know where I'm going

Say I'm ready

Say I'm ready

I want to go where the rivers are overflowing and

I'll be ready

I'll be ready

I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me

I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me

If it's love, flowing freely

I'm ready

I'm ready

If the waters, can redeem me

I'm ready

I'm ready

I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me

I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me

Ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah

I wanna wake up

I wanna know where I'm going

I wanna go where, the rivers are overflowing

I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me

I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me

I'm ready

I'm ready

I'm ready

I'm ready

I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me

I'm ready

I'm ready

I'm ready

I am ready (To let the rivers wash over me)

I'm ready

I'm ready

I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me

I'm ready

Wash over me (I'm ready)

I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me

I'm ready

I'm ready

I'm ready

I am ready (to let the rivers wash over me)

I'm ready

I'm ready

I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me

I'm ready

I'm ready

I'm ready

I am ready (to let the rivers wash over me)

I'm ready

I'm ready
