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 cry 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
