I have to be ready,

Said the minuteman,

One mind when I hear my name.



Cause all of it matters,

The war and the battles and

This life is a means to an end.



To inspire a dream,

That when realized you attack,

What kind of loving is this?



(Chorus)



But I still believe, and baby I'll fall or I'll stand,

But this time I finish, I finish

I want to be ready just like a minuteman,

One mind when I hear my name.



She offered her hand,

She whispered be a man,

But when I woke from sleep,

There was only me,

But I'll be ready...

I'll be ready...



All that I want to know,

Is why would I want any more?



(Chorus)



Cause I still believe, and baby I'll fall or I'll stand,

But this time I finish, I finish

I want to be ready, just like a minuteman,

One mind when I hear my name.
