Ready to Live

There was a line
I never thought I'd cross it
There was a line
So low

Fell in a hole
I spiraled down in quicksand
Fell in a hole
With the undertow

Deep below the bottom
I was too far gone to rescue
Bracing for my last breath
I smiled

I'm ready
I can finally say
I'm ready to take
'cause I'm ready to give
I'm ready
I can finally say
I'm ready to die
So I'm ready to live

Woke in a river
Baptized in the water
Woke in a river
I'm clean
Shedding my skin
And all that pretty baggage
Shedding my skin
I'm free
And all my debts forgotten
And all my crimes forgiven
Lighter than a feather
This is my soul

I'm ready
I can finally say
I'm ready to take
'cause I'm ready to give
I'm ready
I can finally say
I'm ready to die
So I'm ready to live

There was a line
I never thought I'd cross it
There was a line
So far
Here I'm past horizon
Reached my destination
So meet me at the gates
Let's play it again
