In all you've seen
Was it that came down on me that night,
A conjuring, I held on to that moment
And I just make it alive.
You sit out there in the covering,
In the box, kings of the holy night.
And I was lucid and conscious
And hovering like a firefly.
I'm lying stretched out on the canopy,
He put his arms out slow,
And I heard the whisṗers of silence floating down from the radio.
So come on, come on, I'm ready now,
I got the feeling, honey, like I'm ready to roll.
You see I'm not gonna wait till the end
‘Cause I got the burning fire in there, in my soul.
I saw the light from a battle gun,
16 days under a Southern sun,
And there were times when I thought that
I wouldn't mind it if I lost my mind.
Doubt that you would believe me if I told you so,
The things I saw enough to make the man in me manly,
Make me manly.
So come on, come on I'm ready now,
Go get your things out, honey, let's get ready to roll!
Oh, I can feel the wave coming over me,
I've been waiting for this day too long just to let it all go…
As a child I was wonder-eyed
At the thought that I might know
A life in the ecstasy of rock'n'roll.
O-oh-oh, now taking it slow,
I'm an arrow in a roll.
You'd think that I would know what makes me blow…
So come on, come on, I'm ready now,
I got the feeling, honey, like I'm ready to roll.
You see I'm not gonna wait till the end
‘Cause I got the burning fire in there, in my soul.
