I Wish We’d All Been Ready Lyrics

I Wish We’d All Been Ready

Life was filled with guns and war
And all of us got trampled on the floor
I wish we’d all been ready
The children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we’d all been ready

(chorus)
There’s no time to change your mind
The son has come and you’ve been left behind

A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and turns her head he’s gone
I wish we’d all been ready
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears and one’s left standing still
I wish we’d all been ready

(repeat chorus)

The father spoke, the demons dined
How could you have been so blind? 

(repeat chorus 2x)

I hope we’ll all be ready
You’ve been left behind [3x]
