[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I'm ready to go home
I'm ready to receive forgiveness for my sins
I'm ready to begin

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
I breathe shallow deep inside of me
If time has run its course with me

[Chorus]
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 let defenses fall
To surrender, to survive
I will give up everything to those who leave behind

[Chorus]
I'm ready to go home
I'm ready to receive forgiveness for my sins
I'm ready to begin
I'm ready to lay down
I'm ready now to sleep
A promise I must keep
I'm ready to go home again
Going home again
