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
   Guide 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
   Breathe shallow deep inside of me
   If time has run its course with me
   Then
  
   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'll 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
   Again
