Seeing the signs, approaching the time
A day when a choice will demand
Rising or fall, yeah, a call to us all
Something I've got to understand

Well, there's a way we can feel in the heart (feel in the heart)
That hope we all want to share
Now, reach out and go, ain't no better way to show
Nothing's here for play so get out of the way

'Cause we're getting ready
Lord, we're holding steady
Getting ready, all through the night
Getting ready
Lord, we're holding steady
Living on borrowed time

Well, I know we can make it, oh Lord, if we try
I can't help but see the love that we deny
Now, give us the strength and the hope to carry on
We'll raise our voices to the sky

Well, there's a way we can feel in the heart (feel in the heart)
That hope we all want to share
Now, reach out and go, ain't no better way to show
Nothing's here for play so get out of the way

'Cause we're getting ready
Lord, we're holding steady
Getting ready, all through the night
Getting ready
Lord, we're holding steady
Living on borrowed time

Well, there's a way we can feel in the heart (feel in the heart)
That hope we all want to share
Now, reach out and go, ain't no better way to show
Nothing's here for play so get out of the way

'Cause we're getting ready
Lord, we're holding steady
Getting ready, all through the night
Getting ready
We're getting ready
Getting ready, all through the night (we're getting ready)
Getting ready
We're getting ready
Getting ready, all through the night
Getting ready
We're getting ready
Getting ready, all through the night
