A person in the last days of life reassures their family and friends that they are ready to make their passage.
lyrics
Are you ready Yes, I’m ready, yes, I’m ready
Are you ready Yes, I’m ready, yes, I’m ready
My lover, my sweet one
All change is never easy
And when my time shall come
When I’m ready will you take me as I am?
Are you ready Yes, I’m ready, yes, I’m ready
Are you ready Yes, I’m ready, yes, I’m ready
Are you ready Yes, I’m ready
And when I’m ready, will you take me as I am
My family is a circle
Now it’s time to break the chain
It always happens in the end
When it does, will you take me as I am
Chorus
I had a dream of Jacob’s ladder
Angels up and devils down
I wondered while I waited my turn
When I’m ready, will you take me as I am
Chorus
My true and lifelong friend
I am steady and I’m not afraid
I have done what I have done
Now I’m ready, will you take me as I am
Chorus
