Are You Ready To Say Goodbye? (feat. Missy Raines & Allegheny)
Hey Brother get your things in order
Time to get your work done
Gonna lift that burden from your shoulder
The race is run
Can you hear, hear the ringing of
That black telephone?
There’s a voice from up above
Telling you to come home
Are you ready to say goodbye
Rising way up to the sky?
Are you ready to leave it all behind
And lift your soul up high?
When your time down here is through
There’s not a thing you can do
Are you ready to say goodbye?
Hey sister, hear the angels sing
Better get your suitcase packed
Don’t fill it with unimportant things
‘Cause you ain’t coming back
See your children all around you now
A weepin’ and cryin’
Let their love carry you around
‘Cause soon you’ll be flying
Are you ready to say goodbye
Rising way up to the sky?
Are you ready to leave it all behind
And lift your soul up high?
When your time down here is through
There’s not a thing you can do
Are you ready to say goodbye?
Walking in the promised land
With the saints and the ghosts
Tell me I will see you again
When I lay down this load
Life is short and it ends fast
Like a 10-story fall
Hear the chorus of souls passed
At the end of it all
Did you think there’d be more to leave?
More to stay here for?
Have mercy on the ones left to grieve
As you’re headed out that door
Are you ready to say goodbye
Rising way up to the sky?
Are you ready to leave it all behind
And lift your soul up high?
When your time down here is through
There’s not a thing you can do
Are you ready to say goodbye?
Are you ready to say goodbye?
