Home › A › Asia › Ready To Go Home (4:47)

On the street below these walls
Where I used to walk
Now I can barely crawl
All this darkness rising tall
Lord, shine a light for me
Im waiting to be called
Im ready to go home
Im ready to receive
Forgiveness for my sins
Im ready to begin

Take this river to the sea
Where the delta flows
The tide is washing over me
Guide this soul to heavens door
Show me where tomorrow lies
Im waiting to be home

Im ready to lay down
Im ready now to sleep
A promise I must keep
Im ready to go home

Sometimes I lay down with these memories
Breathe shallow, deep inside of me
Time has run its course with me
And Im ready to go home

When the evening shadows fall
When the time has come
I let defences fall
To surrenders to survive
I will give up everything
To those I leave behind

Im ready to go home
Im ready to receive
Forgiveness for my sins
Im ready to begin

Im ready to lay down
Im ready now to sleep
A promise I must keep
Im ready to go home
Again
