Ready to Go Home by 10cc

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 defenses fall

To surrender is to survive
I will give up everything
To those I leave behind

I'm ready to go home
Yes, I'm ready to receive
Forgiveness for my sins
I'm ready to begin

Yes, I'm ready to lay down
I'm ready now to sleep
A promise I must keep
I'm ready to go home
Again
