[Verse 1]
The waves crash in and the tide pulls out
It's an angry sea but there is no doubt
The lighthouse will keep shining out
To warn the lonely sailor

[Verse 2]
And the lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold
Through the sailor's bones to the sailor's soul
'Til there's nothing left that he can hold
Except the rolling ocean

[Chorus]
But I am ready for the storm
Yes, sir, ready
I am ready for the storm
I'm ready for the storm

[Verse 3]
Oh, give me someone for my dreams
'Cause every confrontation seems
To tell me what it really means
To be the lonely sailor

[Verse 4]
But when the sky begins to clear
And the sun it melts away my fear
I'll cry a silent weary tear
For those that need to love me
[Chorus]
And I am ready for the storm
Yes, sir, ready
I am ready for the storm
I'm ready for the storm

[Verse 5]
Distance it is no real friend
And time will take its time
And you will find that in the end
It brings you me, the lonely sailor

[Verse 6]
And when you take me by your side
You love me warm, you love me
And I should have realized
I had no reason to be frightened

[Chorus]
For 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
