Jamie O'Neal - Ready When It Comes lyrics

She wakes up some days life is cruel

She's on a chain gang sittin' in a typing pool

And her brain feels all dragged down

The gossip flies, the coffee's stale

She wants to run outside and scream like hell

'Til it turns her luck around

Doesn't matter how insane it gets

She's got one dream and her sights set, she says

I'm just waitin' for it

I'm just makin' sure that my heart's steady as a drum

Brighter days are dawnin'

My faith's holding strong, and I'll be ready when it comes

He drives around the block a thousand times

He can't go home 'til he clears his mind

And his supper's cold by now

The doctor's words crash through his ears

About a treatment plan and a lot of years

He will live to see somehow

He gathers all his friends and family

He says, wrap your lovin' arms around me

I know I can do this

Love will get me through this, my heart's steady as a drum

Brighter days are dawnin'

My faith's holding strong, and I'll be ready when it comes

One light shinin' that is brighter than the sun

Way down deep inside the heart of everyone

I reach past my troubles for the strength to carry on

And find that what I need was right there all along

I'm just waitin' for it

I'm just makin' sure that my heart's steady as a drum

Brighter days are dawnin'

My faith's holding strong, I'll be ready when it comes

Yes, I will

Gonna be ready now

Yeah, I'm gonna be ready now

When it comes, when it comes

My faith is holding strong

Brighter days are dawnin'

My faith is holding strong, and

I'm gonna be ready when it comes
