Will You Be Ready
Awakening the Spirit: A Anthem for the Unheard Voices
Lyrics
Where is my sister
Asking about the whereabouts of the speaker's sister
Is she a redhead or a blonde?
Wondering about the physical appearance of the sister
Where is my brother
Asking about the whereabouts of the speaker's brother
I want to hear to his battle song
Expressing a desire to hear the brother's fighting or resilient spirit
I'm happy to live day by day
Content with living in the present moment
Don't need a reason to be OK
Not needing a specific reason to feel okay or content
Bang the drum, get me some
Repetitive questioning about readiness in the face of societal or political upheaval, using metaphors like banging the drum, electric shock, TV signal, ringing the bell, climbing stairs, spraying paint, and government falling as symbols of change or rebellion
Gonna save the wounded ones
-Electrico-shock in your head
-TV signal in your bed
-Ring the bell, climb the stairs
-Call me back when someone cares
-Spray your paint all over the wall
-When the government starts to fall
-Will you be ready
-Who runs this country
-Are they inspired or insane
-Have they been drinking
-Should we throw 'em off the train
-Is it time to come clean
-I think you know what I mean
-Bang the drum, get me some
-Gonna save the wounded ones
-Electrico-shock in your head
-TV signal in your bed
-Ring the bell, climb the stairs
-Call me back when someone cares
-Spray your paint all over the wall
-When the government starts to fall
-Will you be ready
-Everybody's got something to say
-Who you gonna push outta the way
-Will you be ready
-Bang the drum, get me some
-Gonna save the wounded ones
-Electrico-shock in your head
-TV signal in your bed
-Ring the bell, climb the stairs
-Call me back when someone cares
-Spray your paint all over the wall
-When the government starts to fall
-Yea you spray your paint all over the wall
-When the government starts to fall
-Will you be ready
-Yea, will you be ready
-Will you be ready
-Will you be ready
-Will you be ready
Reiteration of the central question of readiness
