- I Wish We'd All Been Ready Lyrics / with translationsLife was filled with guns and war,
And everyone got trampled on the floor,
I wish we'd all been ready.
Children died, the days grew cold,
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold,
I wish we'd all been ready.
There's no time to change your mind,
The Son has come and you've been left behind.
A man and wife asleep in bed,
She hears a noise and turns her head, he's gone,
I wish we'd all be ready.
Two men walking up a hill,
One disappears and one's left standing still,
I wish we'd all been ready.
There's no time to change your mind,
The Son has come and you've been left behind.
Life was filled with guns and war,
And everyone got trampled on the floor,
I wish we'd all been ready.
Children died, the days grew cold,
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold,
I wish we'd all been ready.
There's no time to change your mind,
The Son has come and you've been left behind.
A man and wife asleep in bed,
She hears a noise and turns her head, he's gone,
I wish we'd all be ready.
Two men walking up a hill,
One disappears and one's left standing still,
I wish we'd all been ready.
There's no time to change your mind,
The Son has come and you've been left behind.
There's no time to change your mind,
How could you have been so blind.
The Father spoke, the demons died.
The Son has come and you've been left behind.
You've been left behind.
You've been left behind.
You've been left behind.
And everyone got trampled on the floor,
I wish we'd all been ready.
Children died, the days grew cold,
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold,
I wish we'd all been ready.
There's no time to change your mind,
The Son has come and you've been left behind.
A man and wife asleep in bed,
She hears a noise and turns her head, he's gone,
I wish we'd all be ready.
Two men walking up a hill,
One disappears and one's left standing still,
I wish we'd all been ready.
There's no time to change your mind,
The Son has come and you've been left behind.
Life was filled with guns and war,
And everyone got trampled on the floor,
I wish we'd all been ready.
Children died, the days grew cold,
I wish we'd all been ready.
There's no time to change your mind,
The Son has come and you've been left behind.
A man and wife asleep in bed,
She hears a noise and turns her head, he's gone,
I wish we'd all be ready.
Two men walking up a hill,
One disappears and one's left standing still,
I wish we'd all been ready.
There's no time to change your mind,
The Son has come and you've been left behind.
There's no time to change your mind,
How could you have been so blind.
The Father spoke, the demons died.
The Son has come and you've been left behind.
You've been left behind.
You've been left behind.
You've been left behind.
