Matt Bednarsky - Ready or Not

There are no words for the feeling you get
when you lay your head on your sought after bed
When the cold outside's
a memory by the fireside

It takes you back to the days of old
When Mom and Dad ran the world from your home
Everyday well fed
With all your needs met

The child inside us never goes away
He still needs to know that everything's okay
He still wants to be tucked in at night
He still needs to be by a shining light
He just wants to know that everything will be alright

I used to think that one day I’d grow up
And take care of myself, wouldn’t need no one
But the slices of time
Are arbitrary lines

It sneaks up on you in a slow cascade
Ready or not, there is no way to wait
And the boy or girl
is off into the world

The child inside us never goes away
He still needs to know that everything's okay
He still wants to be tucked in at night
He still needs to be by a shining light
He just wants to know that everything will be alright

Ohs
Grandparents, and parents, are daughters and sons
Age is a number, that when uncovered, shows the heart is still young

Chorus
The child inside us never goes away
He still needs to know that everything's okay
He still wants to be tucked in at night
He still needs to be by a shining light
He just wants to know that everything will be alright

Everything will be alright
