lyrics

Ready

he walked in and a voice came to me said
“slow down girl and be steady
take your time to get ready”
I could see he’s got adventure written all over his body
but then he smiled and I had to say to myself
“oh you gotta sit down and think straight
find self-control gotta learn to wait
because this one could take it all away”
for this man well he looked right there through me now
I don’t wanna call it danger but there’s something about this

stranger to think that I should know it
I’m sure stranger things go on
but this I wouldn’t know
in the moment I was frightened by your power
in this moment I think I’m ready now

I’m ready
ready for you to reach me
ready
ready for you to teach me
I’m ready
ready for you to reach me
ready
ready for you to teach me

weary days passed taste of bitter would run over my lips
I had hunger and I let it seep in so deep
let my body do some stand-in work for my soul
my insides became stiff with cold
but now I feel new heat rise up rise up rise up

from the coreof my body I was silent
to the core all the music had died down
now the time you come to hammer at my quiet
well the time has come I think I’m ready now

ready
turn my world sideways then right side up again
ready
for you to rock me ‘til the dawn then start again
ready
burn your power through me that I know you can do
oh do your thing
and get ready
cause I’m ready for you
