Texty: Jamie O'Neal. Brave. Ready When It Comes.

She wakes up some days life is cruel
She's on a chain gang sittin' in a typin' pool
And her brain feels all dragged down

The gossip flies, the coffee's stale
She wants to run outside and scream like hell
'Til it turns her luck around

Doesn't matter how insane it gets
She's got one dream and her sights set, she says

"I'm just waitin' for it
I'm just makin' sure that my heart's steady as a drum
Brighter days are dawnin'
My faith's holdin' strong and I'll be ready when it comes"

He drives around the block a thousand times
He can't go home 'til he clears his mind
And his supper's cold by now

The doctor's words crash through his ears
About a treatment plan and a lot of years
He will live to see somehow

He gathers all his friends and family
He says, "Wrap your lovin' arms around me"

I know, I can do this
Love will get me through this, my heart's steady as a drum
Brighter days are dawnin'
My faith's holding strong, and I'll be ready when it comes

(When it comes)
One light shinin' that is brighter than the sun
(When it comes)
Way down deep inside the heart of everyone
(When it comes)
I reach past my troubles for the strength to carry on
(When it comes)
And find that what I need was right there all along

I'm just waitin' for it
I'm just makin' sure that my heart's steady as a drum
Brighter days are dawnin'
My faith's holdin' strong, I'll be ready when it comes

Yes, I will, gonna be ready now, yeah, I'm gonna be ready now
When it comes, when it comes, my faith is holdin' strong
Brighter days are dawnin', my faith is holdin' strong
I'm gonna be ready when it comes
