The 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 lightning strikes And the wind cuts cold Through the sailor's bones the sailor's soul 'Til there's nothing left that 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
Oh give me mercy for my dreams 'Cause every confrontation seems to tell me What it means To be this lonely sailor And when the sky begins to clear The sun it away my fear And I shed a silent weary tear For those who mean to love me
I am ready for the storm Yes sir ready I am ready for the storm I'm for the storm
The distance it is no real friend And time will take its time And you will find that in the end brings you me This lonely sailor And when You take me by the hand And You love me, Lord, You love me And I should have realized 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 ready for the storm I'm ready for the storm
