Lyrics: Jamie O'Neal. Ready When It Comes.

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
