Are you waiting for something to happen?
Are you expecting things to be done?
Are you ready for the long haul?
Or fading with the setting sun?
Do you have your lanterns ready, in case the darkness falls?
Or do you live in hope that,…she’ll be right on the night.
You believe that you will cope!
Chorus
Be ready, be ready, be ready for the night
Be ready, be ready, for it may be tonight
Vs 2
If you don’t do what needs to be done
Don’t ask me for any favours
You’ve got to do what you need to do
Don’t sell your soul or sign the papers
Do you have your lanterns ready, in case the darkness falls?
But I do know that you know, what you must be doing
If you want protection from the cold – CH
Vs 3
Don’t be like the foolish people
Don’t be taken by surprise
Be on your guard, yes you be ready
Leave your light on all the night
Do you have your lanterns ready, in case the darkness falls?
Then you know for sure that,…she’ll be right on the night.
You know that you will cope! – CH
