LYRIC INTRO

(Are you ready?) (2X)  

Am                 Am  
   There's war and rumors of war

Dm                      Dm  
   Men and women dying, children crying  

Am                             Am
    If you breathe air, you'll die  

Dm                                Dm
     Perhaps you want to know the reason why  

Am                       Am
     But wait! Don't you worry  

Dm              Dm
   A new day is dawning  

F                         F
    We'll catch the sun, 

    E7                
and away we'll fly...  

CHORUS

E7  E7 E7  E7
(1  2  3)  Are you

Am            Am          
ready      to sit by His throne?  Are you

E7                E7
ready      not to be alone?  

Am                  Dm
Someone's coming to take you home  

              F                 E7        Am
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home

VERSE 1

Am 
People say that He won't come  
Dm
And I don't know what say you  
Am
But if He should, would you be the one?  
Dm
I've got a little question I'd like to ask you  
 
CHORUS

Am
Are you ready to sit by His throne?  
E7
Are you ready not to be alone?  
Am        (C)       Dm       (E7)
Someone's coming to take you home  
              F                 E7        Am
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home  
 
BRIDGE

[subdued - lead + response]
Are you ready? (Yes, I'm ready)  
Are you ready? (Yes, I'm ready)  
 
VERSE 2

Brothers and sisters, I have many  
Stumbling along to do their thing  
Love is a song, it's better than any  
It's better for music, it's easy to sing  
 
CHORUS

Are you ready to sit by His throne?  
Are you ready not to be alone?  
Someone's coming to take you home  
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home  

REPEAT

Are you ready to sit by His throne?  
Are you ready not to be alone?  
Someone's coming to take you home  
And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home  
Someone's coming to take you home  

REPEAT LAST LINE x 3 with fade

And if you're ready, then He'll carry you home  
if you're ready, then He'll carry you home  
if you're ready, then He'll carry you home
