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
  Take 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
  I breathe shallow deep inside of me
  If time has run its course with me
  
  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 must come
  I let defences fall
  To surrender's to survive
  I will give up everything
  To those I leave behind
  
  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
