This is an old Appalachian Spiritual, and it feels like a spell. It is as timely and important as ever.
Lyrics
I believe in being ready
I believe in being ready
I believe in being ready
For the time is drawing near
Brothers, sisters, please get ready
Brothers, sisters, please get ready
Brothers, sisters, please get ready
For the time is drawing near
Oh there’ll be sign and wonders
Oh there’ll be sign and wonders
Oh there’ll be sign and wonders
For the time is drawing near
We’ll turn ‘round and just start over
We’ll turn ‘round and just start over
We’ll turn ‘round and just start over
For the time is drawing near
I believe in being ready
I believe in being ready
I believe in being ready
For the time is drawing near
I believe in being ready
I believe in being ready
I believe in being ready
For the time is drawing near
We’ll turn ‘round and just start over
We’ll turn ‘round and just start over
We’ll turn ‘round and just start over
For the time is drawing near
I believe in being ready (ready)
I believe in being ready (ready)
I believe in being ready (ready)
For the time is drawing near
For the time is drawing near
For the time is drawing near
