Ali Campbell - Yes I'm Ready

The school house across town
The city park and playground
The places where kid's joys are found
I'm standing and waiting (yes, I'm waiting)
With hopes the best will show (yes, I'm waiting)
I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)

For the halls of higher learning
A decent way of earning
The good life for mankind
I'm no longer debating
I'm anxious to know
I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)

I know the facts
And I know how to fight back
But fighting is for fools
Toward each other
But if this is what I must be
I will stand like a tree
For there's so much good I love
For man to discover, to discover

I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
I'm ready 'cause of what I've been through
Maybe you should be ready too
I've roughin' an fightin'
Toughfin' and tightin'
Now open up the door
See what I'll do..

I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
I've been laughed at and talked about
By those who claim to be friends
I've been criticized, disputed
But I refuse to give in..

Oh, I'm ready (yes, I'm ready)
If I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
I'm ready if I don't get to go..

I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)

I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
I'm ready if I don't get to go..
