Ready for the Storm

The waves crash in
The tide rolls 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 lightening strikes
And the wind cuts cold
Through the sailor's bones
Through the sailor's soul
'Til there's nothing left that he can hold
Except a rolling ocean

Oh I am ready for the storm
Yes, Sir, ready
I am ready for the storm
I'm ready for the storm

O give me mercy for my dreams
'Cause every confrontation seems
To tell me what it really means
To be this lonely sailor

And when the sky begins to clear
The sun it melts away my fear and I
Cry a silent weary tear
For those who mean to love me

Oh I am ready for the storm
Yes, Sir, ready
I am ready for the storm

The distance it is no real friend
Time will take its time and you will
Find it 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
Yes, Sir, ready
I am ready for the storm
Yes, Sir, ready
I am ready for the storm
I'm ready for the storm

Ready for the Storm
