Ashcroft, Richard - Are You Ready? Lyrics






Ooh Ooh Yeah
Ooh Ooh Yeah
Ooh Ooh Yeah

Are you ready?
Ooh, are you ready for the day?
He's gonna come back down to earth
I hope you're gonna pray
That you're with us
Mmm, as we beam him right up
He's got a little place for me
In his loving cup

Are you ready?
Ooh, ready to see
I'm out here in Babylon
Come out here with me

Are you ready?
Ah, are you ready?
Ah, are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Ah, are you ready?
Ah, are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

Please, I'm ready
'Cause I've lived a life of sin
And I heard that us sinners
Have got a chance with Him
Suicidal, ooh yeah
Deep inside my soul
I've been praying there's somewhere else
For me to go

Come on people
Ooh, don't you hear my pain
I'm out here in Babylon
Waiting for the day
Are you ready?
Ah, I'm ready
Ah, I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
Ah, I'm ready
Ooh yes, I'm ready
Ooh I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
Yes I'm ready

Ah, I'll paint the town with blood
I've been losing so damn much
Since I'm feeling love with people
Ah yeah, the whole damn human race
I wanna put you in my arms
And give you a love embrace
I'm ready
Oh, I aint no freedom train
Cos where we are heading
Yeah, there is no thing as pain
Yes I'm ready
Ooh I've had a season in hell
I'm getting pretty tired down here
Oh, please break the spell

Ah Jesus, sweet Jesus can't you hear?
Please don't leave us all alone
Living here with fear
I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
Yes I'm ready
Yes I'm ready

  18. A.... S....

    This is so awesome. I love this album, praise Jesus Christ.

  19. G.... M....

    All the people who disliked this cracking tune
    are not ready.

  20. h.... o....

    The goosebumps man! Just might be the greatest song ever written

  21. V.... ....

    As a follower of Jesus it saddens me that someone might have spoken in Richard's ear. But hey ho it's his story

    So back to saddens me...

    1. Christians all jump aboard of this
    2. That you actually believe in a rapture and an eternal burning hell

    I can only imagine what it would be like if my Father was so conditional. I'd hate him. I would hate others and feel like I am better than them in pure exclusivity. It would snowball

    V.... ....

    You don't sound much like a follower of Jesus Christ to me mate.

    1. The Rapture happens and you need to get ready!
    2. There is an eternal burning hell, what part of Johns Revelation did you not understand? All of it, it seems...

  22. c.... ....

    cannot watch it before because was blocked in my country

  23. A.... Y....

    Richard Ashcroft!

  24. s.... ....

    Wow. Love the lyrics.

  32. D.... D....

    D.... D....

    Dumpster Diver
    Cracking tune cracking film cracking person watched it when I saw it.

    D.... D....

  33. H.... L....

  34. s.... w....

    rangers suck this year haha LETS GO CAPS

  35. Z.... ....

    If not for Maurice Gibbs 1971 song " On Time" this song wouldn't exist ... Giving credit where credits due! Sampling songs at its best!

    Z.... ....

    https://youtu.be/3KCbqhJt16k Ashcroft says the sample was from the end of this song!....Simular to On Time though.

    Z.... ....

    If it was'nt for His Testimony for Jesus Christ this song wouldnt exist!

  36. m.... g....

    LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!\

  37. D.... F....

    Amen!!!!! brother.....

  38. D.... F....

    Your a 100 percent... a pure dumb fuck.....thats what you are....

  41. S.... A....

    Yes Brother Ashcroft, I'm ready for Jesus' return, when he returns and pulls us up and out of Babylon. Amen!

    S.... A....

    Amen Brother, I'm Ready! Come Lord Jesus!

  42. V.... H....

    Actually, Richard sampled nine seconds from the instrumental closing of "On Time" by the late Maurice Gibb for this song. Check it out: jKMhBr0w72I

  43. y.... ....

    1. You can wait 16 seconds
    2. Music videos are still uploaded by users
    3. Yeah I miss that but things change after time
    4. The likes are more simpler
    5. Updates happen.
    6. Well, it would be nice for youtube to be controlled by its users, but that can be hell. I mean, without the corps using its regulations, rules and crap, youtube would be what i and my friends all considered it at the time "Porn'

  44. y.... ....

    I came here cause of the adjustment buareau (Think i spelled that wrong)

  45. y.... ....

    The Like bar looks like a torch

  46. y.... ....

    I thought real music was killed off awhile ago with all of this pop-techno crap. Turns out I was wrong. Thank god...

  47. b.... ....

    Richard thanks for this awesome tune only a few are ready for the things to come!.. Those with living on their faces and those with the insight know of this.... Babylon will fall in one short day and it will be a glory to witness these things to come. So glad you are still with us brother love and peace to you and yours

    b.... ....

    budsaplenty we are closer than ever now

  48. W.... N....

    @Guzzzard I fully agree.

  49. P.... w....

    Ty Richard for such a beautiful inspiring song.

  50. W.... N....

    I had never heard this song until it accompanied the closing credits in The Adjustment Bureau. It's very hypnotic, and is something that could have been composed and performed by any number of groups in the late 1960s. And that's a compliment. Superb stuff.

  51. p.... f....

    RU kidding? He's not ripping off Sympathy. He's giving Kieth mad props. The singer is all about the christian view, and the riffs are all about Sympathy for the devil. It rounds out the songs whole vision, babe. Snap out of it.

  52. c.... ....

    The Adjustment Bureau : ]

  53. A.... ....

    @antdujar the verve were class. Urban Hymns is such an epic sound.

  54. B.... H....

    YOU CAN SKIP THIS AD IN 5, 4,3,2,1,CLICK CLICK CLICK!!!
    FUCK OFF VEVO!!!

  55. J.... R....

    I love this song, but I am so confused if this is Richard Ashcroft under himself, another band, and whether or not I can even buy this song!? It seems to be pretty well hidden.

    BTW, heard it at the end of 'The Adjustment Bureau'.

    J.... R....

    He made a Colaboration with " The Chemical Brothers" called " The Test". Another Amazing Song that I recommend you to Listen

  56. M.... J....

    I love this song!!! Enough said........

    M.... J....

    Do you love Jesus?

  57. W.... ....

    @godisdeadagain They had more than one hit. Also, he got credit for "Bittersweet Symphany" :)

  58. a.... m....

    god song ,god voice, god guitar

  59. a.... ....

    seriously, if you actually listened to the verve, they arent a one hit wonder, they were very underated. listen to the whole urban hymns album and the albums after that one. they've got alot of good song. "weeping willow" "come on""lucky man" "sit and wonder" "catching the butterfly" and etc. they are one of the most underrated bands aside from the freaking awesome band radio head . ashcroft is cool, but radio head and thom is sick! but thats all I will say lol

    a.... ....

    A great British Band. Love " Urban Hymns" and " A Northern Soul". Two Masterpieces from stat to finish

    a.... ....

    HUGUINI how would you rate A storm in heaven?; I love every album they made just asking

    a.... ....

    I remember The Verve I was just comming out of a terrible way of life and had given my life the Jesus Christ. I remember listening to their songs and thinking about how they were so familiar to the life I had been living and how I was breaking away from it. I also found Ricjhards Songs very inspiring post Verve too. In fact I think his greatest work has been post Verve.

  60. J.... ....

    Steve Wyreman on guitar.

  61. o.... ....

    @ray85k ashcroft is a fucking legend! get it straight

  62. r.... ....

    The frontman looks like such a douchebag. I hope the guy doing the guitar solo finds himself a good band to make a career in.

  63. R.... P....

    the guitar player has a great Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) type tone and feel to his playing

  64. d.... ....

    This song rocks!!

  65. C.... K....

    Finally a new song from Ashcroft!!! :D

  66. U.... J....

    56 Lady gaga and Lil Wayne bullshit fans....yeah this song is not his best but fucking music today PERIOD sucks.

  67. C.... ....

    @wowthese Its not the Top Comment dumbfuck.

  68. T.... B....

    Remember the days when people didn't fight via the internet over a website's layout...?

  69. n.... ....

    @MrUnknownVariable stop being a little bitch

  70. S.... H....

    guitar solo at the end... oy.

  71. a.... a....

    hey everyone!!! i just made my first youtube video ever!.. plz take a look and let me know what yu think!! thank you!!

  72. C.... ....

    @wowthese I remember when music videos uploaded by user were taken down.

    I remember when faggots like you didn't beg for thumbs up.

    I remember when we didn't have Youtube.
    Things change, and so did the Youtube layout, does that bother you?
    Please, EVERYONE THUMBS DOWN HIS STUPID ASS COMMENT.

  73. R.... ....

    See how he put the guitar away in the beginning? That's how you know they ain't using much more than keyboards on songs now.

  74. H.... H....

    I dont think im ready for this crap!

  75. k.... ....

    oh yeeess, lets do it!!!!!

  76. M.... ....

    @flowbroskiis Imagine if that dissenter was at work and the boss said, "I love what you do, but I'm not going to pay you". As Chuck Berry said, they'd be "gone like a cool breeze". Indeed, we have no right to demand an artist's services for free.

  77. n.... ....

    I was eating a philly cheesesteak sub when I was listening to this song. I felt like I was at a restaurant.

  78. J.... M....

    @wowthese Yeah I remember That and I also remember when youtube was in the red, if we want good content and to have this service stay free this what we have to deal with, stop crying youtube cant run without money.

  79. B.... D....

    i thumbed up anyway

  80. �.... ....

    christian rock. cool.

  81. S.... B....

    Gee thanks Vevo. I finally decide to have a little faith in you and click on one of the "stars with guitars" videos (not expecting any phenomenal guitarists, but just a change in scene from all the pop) and you send me to this preachy nut. -.-

    he's not even playing. Though I will admit i did enjoy the solo, it was nothing i haven't heard before.

    And Vevo slides another few inches down the ladder and into the garbage of corporate Youtube.... *sigh*

  82. y.... ....

    @wowthese waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa cry a fucking river

  83. n.... ....

    @wowthese WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO YEAH!!!

  84. N.... V....

    @wowthese The ads give artists money while everyone watches their stuff on youtube.
    Sure, bitch about it.
    I'll sit through hours of ads if it means I can listen to music like this.

  85. D.... C....

    Remember when... oh wait I have a life

  86. 2.... ....

    The video responses are better than the actual song.

  87. G.... w....

    @wowthese unless you are willing to subsidize the yearly cost for running youtube for all of us, then by all means i'm with you. If not, how about you have a coke and a smile, and shut the fuck up

  88. M.... R....

    AdBlock Plus for Firefox stops ALL ads you FUCKING idiots.

  89. C.... L....

    @hazor777 Relax McCarthy

  90. f.... ....

    omg never in a million years did i ever thing i was gonna have the highest rated comments thanks guys

  91. A.... ....

    Go back to The Verve, they were good...

  92. f.... ....

    @wowthese yep I do and I don't give a crap. Vevo has helped me discover music, given me great quality, and users have no right uploading material that they do not own. Youtube has never been owned by you. You can still put up your own material just not others material if they request that a corporation like vevo posts and promotes it for them.

  93. B.... B....

    @JoeNPeegan naw this is actually pretty sick. props to baggy and shoegaze.... im american, and i love the mutha-fuckin MADchester!!!!

  94. x.... ....

    Once I saw him from the front I thought he was Bono. Even sounds like U2! Good though.

    x.... ....

    This is better than any U2 song I have heard recently

  95. S.... R....


    he's not ready

  96. m.... j....
