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, I'm waiting to be called
I'm ready to go home
I'm ready to receive
Forgiveness for my sins
I'm ready to begin___
verse 2
Take this river to the sea
Where the delta flows the tide is washing over me
Guide this soul to heaven's door
Show me where tomorrow lies, I'm waiting to be home
I'm ready to lay down
I'm ready now to sleep
A promise I must keep
I'm ready to go home___
Bridge
Sometimes I lay down with these memories
Breathe shallow, deep inside of me
Time has run its course with me
And I'm ready to go home
verse 3
When the evening shadows fall
When the time has come, I'll let defences fall___
To surrender's to survive
I will give up everything to those I leave behind
I'm ready to go home
I'm ready to receive
Forgiveness for my sins
I'm ready to begin___
I'm ready to lay down
I'm ready now to sleep
A promise I must keep
I'm ready to go home___ again
