Song Lyrics

"Ready to Ride"

by Clear
Album: Clear

Sixth street s-un is going down
Pavement's cool, underneath
A vagrant s-o they say in town
Seems that mercy can't comp-ete

Sleeping i-n a doorway
Near the docks, of Oyster Bay
Thirteen years of carrying shame
Never hearing the voice
Of the One wh-o, took h-is blame
A whisper
He raised his head

~Chorus~
Surrendered out, do you believe
Are you ready to r-ide the train
Abandoned not by love you'll see
If you're ready to r-ide

A one-piece p-aper suitcase
A past whose future was foretold
A life not m-ade for dying instead the mystery
Began t-o, un-fold
Unfolding
He raised his head

~Chorus~

Born into despair an orphan child, will You care for m-e
And like the train that saved me, adopted by love, eternall-y
Opening His arms
He wants you rich you poor
You black you white
Receive His love that runs so deep and high
And long and w-ide

~Chorus~
(2X)
