Ready to Go Home - Sissel Kyrkjebo

On the streets 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

Get 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

Breath shallow deep inside of me

If time has run its course with me

And 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 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

Going home

Again
