I Wish We'd All Been Ready [Dutch translation]

Life was filled with guns and war

And all of us got trampled on the floor

I wish we'd all been ready

Children died the days grew cold

A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold

I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind

The Son has come and you've been left behind

A man and wife asleep in bed

She hears a noise and turns her head he's gone

I wish we'd all been ready

Two men walking up a hill

One disappears and one's left standing still

I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind

The Son has come and you've been left behind

Children died the days grew cold

A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold

I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind

The Son has come and you've been left behind

The Father spoke the demons died

How could you have been so blind

There's no time to change your mind

The Son has come and you've been left behind

I hope we'll all be ready you've been left behind

I hope we'll all be ready you've been left behind

I hope we'll all be ready you've been left behind
