I'M READY

I'm not ready for hate from haters that don't appreciate me But I'm ready for love because love is what I've got to give I'm not ready for war or rumours of wars But I'm ready for peace and loving our neighbours I'm not ready to lose all that I have and peace Because that's all I want I'm not ready, not ready for wars or rumours of wars Because all that it causes is death and destruction But I'm ready, I'm ready for peace and loving my brothers and sisters on this earth I'm not ready, not ready to lose all that I have My family, my friends, my future and ooh-ooh All of the people that I love so much But I'm ready, I'm ready to win in the spirit of all things I'm not ready, not ready to fall under a tyrant's heel But I'm ready to kneel with my hands held high Up to God in the sky Praying against all this injustice Because He wouldn't stand for this I'm not ready, not ready to fail like you want me to fail But I'm ready, I'm ready to succeed Because that's all I need to show you what I can do I'm not ready, not ready to be sad from all the hurt that I've had in my life But I am ready, so ready to be happy Because I've made that beautiful choice to be happy, so happy I'm not ready, not ready for the darkness to darken my day But I'm ready, I'm ready for angels to shine their light down on me I'm not ready, not ready to be beaten into submission from demons and bullies Wanna make things difficult for me But I'm ready, I'm ready to serve and be saved by God Because the Lord knows that's my mission I'm not ready, not ready to be chained down by social injustice, racism and discrimination But I'm ready, I'm ready, looking for freedom cause I wanna be free I'm not ready, not ready to forget all the bad things that have been done to me Even though I know I should, I, I, I, I should But I'm ready, I'm ready to forgive because for forgiveness is good I'm not ready, I'm ready to leave just yet because I have so much to live for But I'm ready, I'm ready to live the last day of my life That I was happy in content So go your own way away and I will grow mine But keep in mind that we're one of a kind But maybe one day our souls will entwine I'm not ready, not ready to stop, stop and stand still But I'm ready, I'm ready to carry on So I'm gonna keep moving, moving, moving on I'm moving, I'm moving I'm not ready to stop, not ready, not ready But I'm ready, I'm ready to carry on I'm ready, I'm ready
