On these streets 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
Take this river to the sea
Where the delta flows
The tide is washing over me
Take this soul to heaven's door
Show me where tomorrow lies
I'm waiting to be born
I'm ready to lay down
I'm ready now to sleep
A promise I must keep
I'm ready to go home
So tired, I lay down with these memories
I breathe shallow deep inside of me
I'm ready to go home
I'm ready to receive forgiveness for my sins
I'm ready to begin
Where the evening shadow fall
When the time is come
I let defences fall
To surveyor to survive
I'll 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
