I looked away while the water was receding I looked away for a second, for a second And it’s gone, everyone was caught sleeping I am awake and the air is pulsating I am awake, as it gathers, see it growing On and on, here it comes Am I ready, am I ready See the tempest looking my way Drain the skies of all their color And I meet it eye to eye With the fire in my breast Je suis pret I am ready, I am ready Je suis pret I am ready, I am ready I will be healed, and my brother, so shall you be Stand over here, by my side We will awake to the river, to the river Washing away all our sighs See the tempest looking my way Drain the skies of all their color And I meet it eye to eye With the fire in my breast Je suis pret I am ready, I am ready Je suis pret I am ready, I am ready Wash away Wash away Wash away Wash away See the tempest looking my way Drain the skies of all their color And we meet it eye to eye With the fire in our breast Nous sommes pret We are ready, we are ready Nous sommes pret We are ready, we are ready
