I Wanna Be Ready Songtext
von The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre

I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
Lord, ready to put on my long white robe

Lord, I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
Lord, ready to put on my long white robe

I would not be a sinner
I′ll tell you the reason why
'Cause if my Lord should call on me
Lord, I won′t be ready to die


I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
Lord, ready to put on my long white robe

Lord, I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
Lord, ready to put on my long white robe

I would not be a gambler
I'll tell you the reason why
'Cause if my Lord should call on me
Lord, I won′t be ready to die

I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
Lord, I wanna be ready
Lord, ready to put on my long white robe
(Be) ready to put on my long white robe
(Just) ready to put on my long white robe
Ooh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
