The waves crash in and the tide pulls out
It's an angry sea but there is no doubt
That the lighthouse will keep shining out
To warn a lonely sailor
and The lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold
Through the sinnerâ??s bones to the sailor's soul
Till there's nothing left that he can hold
Except the rolling ocean
Oh I am ready for the storm Yes Sir, ready
I am ready for the storm I'm ready for the storm
Intro
Oh, give me mercy for my dreams
'Cause every confrontation seems
To tell me what it really means
To be this lonely sailor
when the sky begins to clear
The sun it melts away my fear
and I cry a silent weary tear
For those that mean to love me.
Chorus
Oh I am ready for the storm Yes Sir, ready
I am ready for the storm I'm ready for the storm
verse 3
The distance it is no real friend
And time will take its time
And you will find that in the end
It brings you me, this lonely sailor
And when you take me by the hand
You love me Lord, you love me
And I should have realized
I had no reasons to be frightened
Oh I am ready for the storm Yes Sir, ready
I am ready for the storm I'm ready for the storm
