Theres an old lady at 95 sleeping in her bed
she's dreaming of her life that she lived to the best
she has done so much and has seen alot
she watched her children grow up
and she played with her grand children
now she goes up in peace to heaven tonight
how can you ever be ready to go ?
were you ready to go?
I wonder if you went with grace
I wonder if you had any pain
I know that one day again I'll see your face
until then I will keep your memory in a safe place
theres a young boy around 16
he hasn't experienced much in this life
he lived his life just like everyday
Today is different, he will see the light
the doctors told him he didn't have long to live
the boy smiled as a tear rolled down his face
tonight he died and went willingly to a heavenly place
how can you ever be ready to go ?
were you ready to go?
I wonder if you went with grace
I wonder if you had any pain
I know that one day again I'll see your face
until then I will keep your memory in a safe place
A man of 25 got a call the other night
saying he had to go to war
so he kissed his wife and baby daughter goodbye
he didn't realize it would be for the last time
he was fighting for a better future
in doing so lost is own
his wife now is without a lover
and his daughter without a father
how can you ever be ready to go ?
were you ready to go?
I wonder if you went with grace
I wonder if you had any pain
I know that one day again I'll see your face
until then I will keep your memory in a safe place
how can you ever be ready to say " I'm ready to go "
