LYRIC INTRO
(Are you ready?) (2X)
There's war and rumors of war
Men and women dying, children crying
If you breathe air, you'll die
Perhaps you want to know the reason why
But wait! Don't you worry
A new day is dawning
We'll catch the sun,
and away we'll fly...
CHORUS
(1 2 3) Are you
ready to sit by His throne? Are you
ready not to be alone?
Someone's coming to take you home
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home
BRIDGE
(Am Am)
(Are you ready?) (2X)
VERSE 1
People say that He won't come
And I don't know what say you
But if He should, would you be the one?
I've got a little question I'd like to ask you
CHORUS
Are you ready to sit by His throne?
Are you ready not to be alone?
(C) (E7)
Someone's coming to take you home
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home
BRIDGE
[subdued - lead + response]
Are you ready? (Yes, I'm ready)
Are you ready? (Yes, I'm ready)
VERSE 2
Brothers and sisters, I have many
Stumbling along to do their thing
Love is a song, it's better than any
It's better for music, it's easy to sing
CHORUS
Are you ready to sit by His throne?
Are you ready not to be alone?
Someone's coming to take you home
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home
REPEAT
Are you ready to sit by His throne?
Are you ready not to be alone?
Someone's coming to take you home
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home
Someone's coming to take you home
REPEAT LAST LINE x 3 with fade
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home
if you're ready, then He'll carry you home
if you're ready, then He'll carry you home
