It started out so innocently
Afraid of what I might find
I went underground
To hide, hide
so you could not find me
Cocooned, in the earth’s catacombs
I grew, grew
I grew, grew
Shields of armour covered me
A mask grew over my face
When I came out, I was - untouchable
Untouchable, but was I free?
CHORUS
When will I be ready
Be ready for love?
Be ready for love?
A lightness overcame me
Held me above all I could see
My armour, so strong
Nobody could touch me
I put a knife into your heart
trying to be free
I took myself down
behind the willow trees
Tied myself to the ground
to find some roots here
Who are, who are, who are
CHORUS
When will I be ready, be ready
Be ready for love?
Be ready for love?
Open the door it’s coming X2
CHORUS
I’m going to let it in, let it in
I’m going to let it in
I’m going to let it in, let it in
I’m going to let it in
I’m not going to hide anymore
