I'm Ready
Mat Callahan Lyrics

When I opened up my morning mail
Upon checking my mailbox in the early hours of the day

I found a Bible prophecy
I came across a prediction from the Bible

It said the End Times are approaching
It stated that the final days of humanity are drawing near

The Truth would be revealed to me
The ultimate reality would be disclosed to me

How the wicked will be punished
Details about the punishment the evil will face

When the Judgement Day arrives
When the day of reckoning comes

And the key to my salvation
And the essential element for my personal redemption

Is only $19.95
Can be obtained for the modest price of $19.95

After all these centuries
Following the passage of numerous centuries

And all these tribulations
And enduring countless hardships

After all these prophecies
Despite the existence of countless predictions

And all these revelations
And the disclosure of numerous truths

Let me tell you I'm ready
Allow me to express my readiness

I'm ready
I am prepared

Yes I'm ready
Certainly, I am prepared

For a change
In anticipation of a transformation

At the moment any light would do
Currently, I am in search of any illumination

There is so much here to see
There is an abundance of things to observe in this world

I try to keep an open mind, I do
I do make an effort to maintain a receptive perspective

But it just fills up with debris
Yet, it becomes cluttered with unnecessary matters

Hell, I'll join the Zapatistas
I would rather become part of the Zapatistas (revolutionary group)

Before I'll give you a dime
Rather than providing you with any money

If Eternity costs money, man
If obtaining eternal salvation requires payment

I don't even have the time
I am even lacking the necessary resources

(Is that heaven?)
(Is that an indication of paradise?)

Is that heaven in the air?
Is there a heavenly realm present within the atmosphere?

(Is that heaven?)
(Does that represent a glimpse of heaven?)

Is that heaven anywhere?
Can heaven be found in any location?

(Is that heaven?)
(Is that a sign of heaven?)

Is that heaven to be found?
Is it possible to discover the existence of heaven?

(Is that heaven?)
(Is that a portrayal of heaven?)

I want mine on solid ground
I desire my ideal heaven to be based on stability and certainty
