The waves crash in the tide rolls out

It's an angry sea but there is no doubt

That the lighthouse will keep shining out

To warn a lonely sailor

And the lightning strikes

And the wind cuts cold

Through the sailor's bones

Through the sailor's soul

'Til there's nothing left that he can hold

Except a rolling ocean



Oh I am ready for the storm

Yes sir ready

I am ready for the storm

I'm ready for the storm



Oh give me mercy for my dreams

'Cause every confrontation seems to tell me

What it really means

To be this lonely sailor

And when the sky begins to clear

The sun it melts away my fear

And I shed a silent weary tear

For those who mean to love me



Oh I am ready for the storm

Yes sir ready

I am ready for the storm

I'm ready for the storm



The distance it is no real friend

And time will take its time

And you will find that in the end

It brings you me

This lonely sailor

And when You take me by the hand

And You love me, Lord, You love me

And I should have realized

I had no reasons to be frightened



Oh I am ready for the storm

Yes sir ready

I am ready for the storm

Yes sir ready

I am ready for the storm

Yes sir ready

I am ready for the storm

I'm ready for the storm
