Are You Ready? Songtext
von Richard Ashcroft

Ooh-ooh, yeah
Ooh-ooh, yeah
Ooh-ooh, yeah

Are you ready?
Oh, 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
Hmm, as we beam Him right up
He's got a little place for me
In his loving cup

Are you ready?
Oh, ready to see?
I'm out here in Babylon
Come out here with me


Are you ready?
Ah, are you ready?
Ah, are you ready?
Are you ready
Are you ready?

Are you ready?
Ah, are you ready?
Ah, are you ready?
Are you ready
Are you ready?

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, oh, yeah
Deep inside my soul
I′ve been praying there's somewhere else
For me to go

Come on, people
Oh, don′t you hear my pain?
I'm out here in Babylon
Waiting for the day


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?

Neither Muslim
Oh, Sikh, Buddhist too
I feel so damn free
I don′t need a word with you

I ain't Christian
Oh, I ain't gay or straight
I am just living life
In my own peculiar way

Come on, people
Oh, fight around the world
Trying to force things on me
You know, I′m different, girl

′Cause I'm ready
Ah, I′m ready
Ah, I'm ready
Yes, I′m ready
Yes, I'm ready

Ah, I′m ready
Oh, yes, I'm ready
Oh, I'm ready
Yes, I′m ready
Yes, I′m ready

Oh, I'm ready
Oh, I′m ready
Yeah, I'm ready
Yes, I′m ready
Yes, I'm ready

Yes, I′m ready
Ah, I'll paint the town with blood
I've been losing so damn much
Since I′m feeling love

With people
Ah, yeah, the whole damn human race
I wanna push you in my arms
And give you a love embrace

I′m ready
Oh, I ain't no freedom train
′Cause the way that we are headed, yeah
There is no thing as pain

Yes, I'm ready
Oh, I′ve had a season in hell
And I'm getting pretty tired down here
Oh, please, break the spell

Ah, Jesus
Sweet Jesus, can′t You hear?
Please, don't leave us on our own
Living here with fear

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

Yes, I'm ready
Yes, I′m ready
Yes, I′m ready
Yes, I'm ready
Yes, I′m ready
