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

I breathe shallow deep inside of me
