Oh, the waves crash in and the tide pulls out 
It`s an angry sea but there is no doubt 
That the lighthouse will keep shinin` out 
To warn the lonely sailor 
The lightnin` strikes and the wind cuts cold 
Through the sailor`s bones to the sailor`s soul 
Till there`s nothing left that he can hold 
Except the rolling ocean 

But I am ready for the storm 
Yes Sir, ready 
I am ready for the storm 
I`m ready for the storm 

Oh, give me mercy for my dreams 
Cause every confrontation seems 
To tell me what it really means 
To be this lonely sailor 
And when you take me by your side 
You love me warm, you love me 
And I should have realized 
I had no reasons to be frightened 

But I am ready for the storm 
Yes Sir, ready 
I am ready for the storm 
I`m ready for the storm 

The distance it is no real friend 
And time will take its time 
And you will find that in the end 
It brings you me, the lonely sailor 
And when the sky begins to clear 
The sun it melts away my fear 
I`ll cry a silent weary tear 
For those that need to love me. 

But I am ready for the storm 
Yes Sir, ready 
I am ready for the storm 
Yes Sir, ready 
I am ready for the storm 
Yes Sir, ready 
I am ready for the storm 
I`m ready for the storm
