Ready to Go Home - Gregorian

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

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 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

Breathe shallow deep inside of me If time has run its course with me Then I’m ready to go home

I’m ready to receive

Forgiveness for my sins

I’m ready to begin

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

Yes, I’m ready to receive

Forgiveness for my sins

I’m ready to begin

Yes, I’m ready to lay down

I’m ready now to sleep

A promise I must keep

I’m ready to go home

Again…
