I was down so long 我倒这么久

Everything was goin' wrong 一切都被布莱恩错

And the people all around me 和所有的人在我身边

Got the news 得到消息

   

Lord and everything I tried 主，一切我试过

Fell to pieces and slowly died 摔了个粉碎，并慢慢死去

My soul was going broke 我的灵魂会破产

From paying dues 缴纳会费

   

I was very nearly beat 我当时非常接近击败

When I crawled back to my feet 当我爬回我的脚

Believing that a change 相信改变

Was overdue 逾期

   

Now I'm pickin' up the pieces 现在，我接下去残局

And takin' out new leases 和羚牛出新租约

Gettin' ready for the things 刚开了准备的东西

I wanna do 我想做的事

   

And you know I'm ready 而且你知道我准备好了

How tough is it gonna be 如何艰难的是它会是

Are you ready 你准备好了吗

Don't keep asking me 不要一直问我

If I'm ready, yea, yea 如果我准备好了，是啊，是啊

Leave it up to me 留给我

I'm ready as I'm gonna be 我准备好了，因为我就要当

I'm ready finally 我终于准备好

   

Lord I'm ready to make my way 主啊，我已经准备好让我的方式

Take it slowly from day to day 把它慢慢地从日常

Take it easy on myself 别紧张我自己

As I roll along 当我沿着滚

   

Lord knows it's down to me 上帝知道它的下到我

To write the melody 写的旋律

To sing my own words 唱我自己的话

To the song 这首歌

   

And you know I'm ready 而且你知道我准备好了
